Castillon-en-Couserans
Excellent timing for a day off in a small hillside village. Before le matin was complet an enormous thunderstorm arrived, rattling the windows of the campground shelter where I was safely reading my book while le machine à laver was washing my filthy togs.
Spent the bulk of the day at the cafe, stretching my cafe au lait for hours while using the WiFi and watching the endless game of hearts being played by the locals.
Took an outing through the narrow walkways to the Chapelle Calvair at the top of the hill, after which paid a visit to the well subscribed charcuterie. Bought a very heavy poulet. To my delight, I discovered it was stuffed with sausage. Am now in a protein induced haze.
