There were many cats and, indeed, several dogs raining down on Dickie’s roof as we slept in La Courtine last night. They stopped just long enough for us to discover a peaceful lake when we got up this morning. Such a contrast to the less than attractive town with one patisserie, a restaurant fermé, and a one stop tabac. It was amusing to find a route barrée before we’d even left the village.

We managed to find a rainbow on our way along the route des fromage (how appropriate) across the Massif Central to the village of Cheneuges where we are now parked awaiting the next deluge of domestic animals.
The fluffy one found the only parking spot with an obscured view but, after some gentle nudging, he moved to our current spot where we look directly across the river to a basalt abbey on top of a hill.
Yes, we did walk up there and it was exciting to find it open. The carvings inside are particularly splendid. I managed to find a couple of rudie nudies dancing around the top of a column, a griffin, and, of course, a lovely Madonna.
Tomorrow, Richerenches.
