Purchased the daily baguette at one of the three boulangeries in this small village. Even at this early hour the French were stocking up on their baguettes for the day.
After breakfast we left for another 200 km drive to Cognac country.
On the way we passed some very famous as well as some very beautiful towns and villages, none more authentic than Angles-sur-l’Anglin, it is as if time has stood still.
Angles-sur-l’Anglin- a beau village!
The Cognac region is a beautiful part of the world and such a contrast to the agricultural landscape we had been accustomed to over the past three days. The gentle sloping hillsides are covered in vines as far as the eye can see.
The village of Segonzac was where we were heading - right at the centre of the “Grande Champagne” - the quality grape growing region for the distillation process to produce finecognac.
With another 38 deg, 3 x cold showers day, far too hot to cook a meal, we set to go to the local restaurant this evening, arrived only to find that it was closed! Its website indicated that it was only closed Dimanche (Sunday) and Lundi (Monday). Got to love the French!
Hello there.........loving the Cognac area, the name alone conjures up memories of that delicious drink. Hope you try some local products. Heard about your heat wave on the news, feeling for you, apparently parts of Europe are in the 40's. Happy travelling xxx
