Ca Plane Pour Moi – Plastic Bertrand (French Punk Rock 1977)

This was only 30 minutes from the gite, which we found quite easily. It’s small and the garden is a bit tatty, but it’s clean, the bed is comfy and the shower is fab.
Went for a bit of a wander this morning to Pontlevoy:

and Montrichard:

Chilling and dozing this afternoon. Wine tasting tonight.
