Good nights sleep, very quiet. Paul took Lottie for a walk to the Boulangerie to buy 2 croissants and a baguette for lunch.
We set off for the Super U in Poitiers but the car park was too small so we headed for the Auchan which had an enormous car park. I should have realised that having a car park that size meant that it was an enormous shopping centre. It was a bit overwhelming when I got inside, it was also very busy as it was Saturday. I emerged nearly 2 hours later, I didn’t even get round to some of the aisles, I’d given up.
After lunch in the car park we headed off and stopped at a Gifi shop, it’s a bit like a Tiger shop, full of lovely things at reasonable prices. That was a nice shop. Lots of space to browse.
We then decided to find an aire nearby. I found one at Le Grand-Pressigny, a free one with electric (important for my hairdryer!). The journey there was very pretty with hardly any traffic.
The aire is great, right next to a Municipal campsite (closed).
We parked up and then walked into the village which is very pretty. There is a very impressive Chateau which we wandered around (the outside) and it also has a Museum if Pre History which probably accounts for these life size models
(Lottie didn’t quite work out that they weren’t real, so barked away at them)
We found the boulangerie for our bread tomorrow, and ordered a pizza for later at the local bar/pizzeria.

The pizza was delicious
