Come back for lunch ... 
... but first get up early and go out and about. Several towns within half an hour's drive all have different days for street markets, where you can buy or browse among such a variety of stalls: foodstuffs like cheeses and hams, dresses and bags, arts & crafts, and much more. There are also many towns with ancient buildings and towers, a delight for the sightseer, photographer or artist; a study project for the historian. Some parts of these towns have been sympathetically restored, with modern pavements for modern visitors, such as in Cancon (picture below). Touring around you will take time to stop off road (try Tourtres for example, not far from Canard Ferme) to enjoy a picnic with a panorama of the countryside. So many places to visit that we cannot do justice to all the possibilities on one short page. Please refer to the collected notes in your gite. There are also many good restaurants within half an hour's drive. A typical menu for €14 (£10) is something you'll write home about!. But if eating at home is your preference, there is an excellent supermarket on the north side of Miramont whose selection, variety and prices will amaze you: fresh fruit & veg.; wines, beers & spirits; delicatessen counter to put your French language to the test; toothbrush you forgot to pack. |
