A beautiful quarry...

The cycle route along the Charente river was well signed, keeping us in pretty villages, until the bustle of Cognac. Then we are chased by lorries until we reach some tiny roads and follow our hosts direction to his lovely wooden house, surrounded by fields of young sunflowers, north of Saintes. Bernard takes us in his car to a nearby disused limestone quarry which has been filled with enormous sculptures, and shows us the little road we will take tomorrow.
