An early start from Millau saw us driving across rural France yet again avoiding the tolls and enjoying it's beauty.

We arrived in the mega city of St Eitenne again low on fuel, and hungry, found a Lidls for bathroom stop, tried three more stations which were all self service and all refused my card.

Dinner at our digs then walked the lake promenarde. Czytaj więcej
