Good thread this and living proof that nobody ‘dies’ if they travel by cage.
Buggered old geezer does France...

I was going to offer 500-1 on it being ‘polluted’.
Same thing really..
And from the Dordogne to the Loire.
The only motorway day today, but mostly quiet ones passing through delightful French scenery.
I can report that the plipetypop gadget in the windie worked and allowed us entry to and exit from the peage painlessly and stress free. I can also report that the gilets jaunes and breathalyzer thingies worked perfectly. Monzo has done us proud and booking.com has provided us with shelter and succour in our travels. All good. We also gained access to the continent with ease, despite the efforts of the good Lord and Neptune.....don't really understand what all the stress is about.
A beautiful hotel in the equally beautiful village of Chavignol, just outside Sancerre, in the heart of the famous appelation.
Still opportunities for roofers...

Our lodgings for the night...

I live in hope of being able to post a photy from my gallery without having to go back in and reduce the 'size' by 80%.....if I wasn't serene and on me holidays I could get irritated......

Only local food allowed. I read it here.
Nope. I got stick on my travel thread for having pizza. Also for both of us having the same
Forgot to mention a great highlight of the trip....just leaving the hotel to start the journey north and west, and what was there but a small flock of Hoopoes.....look it up Chris...these extraordinary little birds do visit...rarely...the UK, but I've never seen one before...a real treat but sadly not able to get a pic..
Welsh porn above the bed, I see!
Christ min...don't mention welsh porn....haven't you been watching the news...Welsh porn above the bed, I see!
The roofs of Chavignol from my room, with the vine clad slopes beyond.
Should say its not suitable for biker mates, as the parking is on the road...

Good trip, even in a car 
Having said that ,it's rather nice to have a vehicle with "clim" over here at the moment as it's a bit scorchio pretty much everywhere

Found a library picture....
View the other way out of room....charming little place..
Obligatory grub picture...starter...singed onions on a bed of smoked ham in carbonara sauce, washed down with delicious sancerre...
Followed by ox tongue and mushrooms...

Bastille Day fireworks from nearby Sancerre itself bamging away into the night...after I was in me bed...
Bastille Day dawns fresh and clear. Being a clever chap I had filled up with gazole yesterday ...many places just shut on 14 July...however the automatic card pumps are pretty much everywhere now.
Never seen one myself. Nice looking bird so to speak.
