Friday 8/24





Farewell to Jeanne and Bertrand...




We spent a leisurely day doing laundry and tidying up, and packing for our trip. We had a late lunch, then visited with the folks at the Gite before leaving for Poitiers. As we left Pauline pressed apples on us for snacks, and thought we should have a bottle of water, until I pointed out that Poitiers is less than 2 hours away – the adieu’s taking longer than the actual trip.

The trip was uneventful, and we arrived at our hotel in St. Benoit, juts outside of town, in time for a walk and a lovely dinner of grilled steak. On the not so good side, the hotel was not terribly comfortable, but on the perhaps good side, it was full the next two nights, so we whipped out the Francophone and called a Mercure hotel near the Futuroscope on the other wide of town, and made reservations for the next two nights.
