• Day 17 Ligré to Lectoure

    June 9, 2024 in France ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

    Early start today for our 907am TGV from St Pierre des Corps to Bordeaux. Easy drive being a Sunday morning. Key drop at SIXT then more Starbucks as it was the only thing open at 815am!!
    Comfy and easy train ride reaching 300km/hr. Quick platform change in Bordeaux for the TGV to Agen. Another good train trip. 1230pm we picked up the car via a locked box and drove to Lectoure. Quiet country roads and pretty countryside.
    The drive through Lectoure was lovely, very narrow streets with cobblestones.
    Our air bnb is in a narrow street with one bedroom on the ground floor, living the next floor and another bedroom on the 3rd floor...lots of narrow, steep stairs!!
    Time for a walk through town. Chris found us a panache...grande so we sat and enjoyed. It was huge and in glasses that needed 2 hands!! Peter's cold has got worse so he went home to sleep. Further down the road we found a bar showing the men's tennis final so we lounged on the couch with a gin and tonic and watched Zverev and Alcaraz fight it out!! Pizzas were served at 7pm and the match ended about 8pm with Alcaraz winning in 5 sets.
