Look at this lot, Auvergne’s specialities are charcuterie and cheese, add four fruit tarts, yogurt and creamy creamy butter. Besides there was bread, honey, croissant and a dish of blackcurrants on the table, and a pot of coffee.

The church is right outside the hotel.

It was built in 1146, same date as the other one I looked in, presumably a period of church building here.
It’s in very good condition, perhaps partly because it’s built of granite. Also, being a big church in a relatively obscure area, it was probably too expensive to re-model as fashions changed.
Today willl be an easy day, with only 26k to cover and 650m climbing. Dappled shade in the woods.
Some brown cows break the white monopoly.
Ending a day of mainly climbing with a steep descent into this valley.

To Murol, which has a castle on a hill.
