We woke late this morning after the big night - the driver, at least, was feeling his age! But the view from the van was very rewarding - the lovely French manoir.
We were invited to a typical French breakfast including delights from the local pâtisserie. Yet more hospitality from our lovely hosts! Fortunately no more cognac or eau-de-vie!
Susannah and Graham took us for a tour of their house and showed us the work they have done and what they are planning to do in the future - it will be quite stunning.
After this we said our farewells and left for Cognac. The contrast between the rural French village and the large city was brought home to us. Cognac has the major Cognac Houses here along the river but it is just another large noisy city in comparison.
By the end of the day we decided not to stop here overnight but to drive on to the Chateau Marquis de Vauban where we stayed in the beautiful grounds of the Chateau surrounded by vineyards and five other motorhomes.
