Day 4
Rest Day
Our plan had been to climb to Roc d'Orxival but we woke to fog and rain dripping from the hotel awning. We took our time over breakfast and then visited the tourist office, getting a leaflet that would guide us around the village showing points of interest. This tour proved to be enjoyable .

The sun came out and we decided on crepes for lunch. The leaflet doubled as an essential sun hat for my bald head as our table had no shade.

As the weather was much improved we walked on a trail to St Jean where we found the cafe to be closed.
We wondered whether we should try another restaurant for dinner but we enjoyed last night's meal so much we returned to our hotel and were glad we did. A green salad was followed by pork in a sauce with vegetables and an interesting mix of grated carrot, ginger and other ingredients in a rice paper parcel, edible flowers and potato dauphinoise. We washed it down with half a litre of Garnay, the local red wine. Perfect!
