Markets...

Saturday morning we are able to visit old Cahors centre with little traffic, but the bustle of the street market and the covered market busy as well, too many local cheeses to count.





Mike navigates us a great route out, that provides a view point at the top, looking down on a big bend in the River Lot and the city.





Soon we are along narrow, car-less valley roads through meadows, heading north. The top temperature today is a more moderate 26 deg. Our next hosts are retired Americans, Mary and Bob, who live in a restored chapel, tucked down a little lane right in the centre of the village of Salviac, opposite the church, Mairie and the Boulangerie. Their garden is a very tranquil spot overlooking fields at the rear. Mary and Bob know the area very well, and are leading lights in the local touring club. They also have one of the few tandems in the region. They have cycled all over the world, including Thailand and Kerala in India.
