Day 19 - St Privat d’Allier to Saugues

The gite in Saint Privat was ok - a bit like a youth hostel but we had our own room. Glugged a couple of beers before the meal at 7. Mainly French families and Tim the Ozzie. All sat round a large table.
Lentils are a local product that are becoming tiresome as they appear very regularly!!
Early night, then up for 7.00am breakfast before fighting for space in the rucksack room to repack them for the off.
There had been a landslide on the hill so we deviated to the road and reckon we saved an hour of walking time.
Went through Ministrol d’Allier an old mining settlement. Then it was uphill into the mountains.
The weather was amazing and the views were stunning.
Simon has a red neck so headed off to get sun cream. He can’t handle being overtaken by pensioners 😂
Got here in a very good time - think walking legs are coming on!!
So had a relaxing drink and shared a pizza before heading to meet Jesus, our host for the evening at today’s Gite.
We have a lovely big room in the attic and now await the delight of today’s dinner. Can smell smoked fish - just hoping it’s not with lentils 🤞🤪Read more
