Round and Round to Roc

The joys of a ‘route barré’ are ... none. We’ve had two in the last couple of days which have led to rather circuitous routes to our destinations. Oh, for an accurate ‘Deviation’ sign! At least we’re not in a hurry and when we’ve arrived the medieval quaintness of the villages has made up for our teeny frustration.
Our arteries are soon going to be blocked just like the roads if we keep on eating the amount of cheese we’ve been thrusting into our mouths. If we listen hard enough we can hear the soft ‘pff pff’ of them furring up as we munch away. Today it’s Le Crémeux de Bourgogne, a buttery soft cheese which tastes, funnily enough, very creamy.
Graham wanted to check out a Palaeolithic site called Roc Aux Sorciéres despite the fact it was closed until March 1st. It was worth going just to check out the lovely 70s style monstrosity of a building that encapsulates the fantastic site within. See below. We may come back next year to have a look inside as the rock carvings look amazing.
We’re currently in a town called Le Blanc and Matt is nowhere to be seen. There’s a massive river nearby and a lovely beardy young chap in the tourist office who is at a loss as to why we are visiting in winter. Dinner tonight in La Flambée so I’m hoping they don’t serve cheese.

Unattractive building
