🇧🇪 Hugo 🇫🇷 Les Fadas de Puy Mary

Hugo! Passion, kindness, generosity, love, enthusiasm, friendship, sharing, friend, and love of cycling only begin to explain this expat Belgian living in the Cantal district of France. Hugo fell in love with the Cantal area years ago,and with the beautiful scenery, kind people, and awesome cycling we could easily see why this was his choice for retirement. He has become the organizer of a cycling challenge (not a race!) called the “Les Fadas de Puy Mary” (the fools of the Puy Mary) http://lesfadasdupuymary.eu/html/English/LinksE… it is a challenge to do some of the steep passes (Cols) of the area near Saignes, FR. I highly recommend if you are one of our Warmshower hosts in France. You look this up and try the challenge! I want to remember everything about our experience with Hugo. He is so passionate about his fountain pen writing, his history in the sport of cycling, promoting cycling touring, and sharing his passion for life… oh yeah, he has a shoe invention he is trying to develop, but I have to keep this top-secret. We had an awesome dinner while listening to music. Green soup and the famous dish from the Cantal area called “aligot,” I dare you to look it up and try to make it. It was absolutely delicious mashed potatoes mixed with some special cheese. We had to cut it to eat it! The night was topped off in our own private bedroom with a private bathroom for us with snoopy pillowcases. Ha ha ha! In the morning, we shared more stories, ate bread on our Cantal placemats, and enjoyed some delicious coffee. After breakfast, Hugo led us out of the village along our path toward Jugeals-Nazareth, FR (our next Airbnb.) There are definitely more stories to come about Hugo and we hope to visit him again someday soon! 😀❤️Читать далее
