Day 42 - Montreal de Gers to Eauze

We breakfasted in our chalet then departed Montreal de Gers through its walled archway. A longer walk today in lovely walking weather, some sunshine. Initially through many farmers fields then into vineyard land. Trevor decided to send us round and round a vine field. The Plodicus wandered off through the grapevines to try and discover the way out. Mary met a man who indicated the right direction but the Plodicus was lost in the vines. After much calling ‘Mary, where are you? We were reunited and rejoined the route 😂
Lunch was had on a very thin, high metal bench…
Unfortunately the last 7 km into Eauze were fairly nondescript as we followed a cycle path all the way. However we surpassed the 600km today 👏👍
We arrived in Eauze in time to grab a coffee but that was all it was Sunday all else was closed.
We headed up to our accommodation. ‘Chez Nadine’ and met the Rugby mad Francis - a keen Toulouse supporter and awaited the arrival of Colin and Jane.
They arrived about 4 and we settled them into their room where upon Jane discovered a humongous asiatic hornet crawling around in her duvet 😱. Everyone was intrigued with this then Nadine our host came and whacked it with a spatula and dispatched it out of the window.
Everyone clapped, had a huge sigh of relief then went to the garden to drink tea.
We shared a lovely evening with Colin and Jane catching up on all their news and hearing all about their fab new house that they have just had their offer accepted on 🙌🙌
After a few aperitifs in the square we had a lovely meal at La Vie Rose restaurant.Read more
