We had a much slower paced day with us not setting off until after 10am. Mark spent this time researching how he was going to wire up the new fan as the weather is predicted to get to 33°c in the next few days with the Motorhome always being a few degrees hotter inside.

It then took us an hour to drive to Aubusson which is a town famous for its tapestries and carpets for over 500 years. There are a few museums to visit but unfortunately as we a have arrived during the lunch closing hours, we can only walk around the town and peer in shop windows that are still selling and making tapestries. 

Armed with a baguette for lunch we continue on our journey towards Sioule River. At Pontaumur we turn off the main road and begin zig zigging our way through the countryside. 

We drive over Pont du Bouchet and then admire the view from the Belevedere Ancizes.

Later we drive under the Viaduc des Fades built for the trains that no longer travel along the tracks.

By 4pm we reach our destination for tonight, Pont de Menat, and Mark sets to work to fit the cable for the fan.

Then the Cadac BBQ gets fired up for the first time these holidays. Bon appétit!
