After a bit of a lie-in, we got up and had coffee and croissants (Sandie had made them the night before).
We then went supermarket shopping with Sandie for last minute things like Cabicou and bread. We bought ourselves eye drops, beer for Claire, and chocolate, being introduced to Leader Price for the first time, which we liked.
Back at the house, we had lunch and mooched around. Then we helped Sandie get things out of the cabine, and sorted out a few more things for her.
Then we headed off to meet Claire and Adam for dinner. The drive was a bit longer than we'd hoped, but it was through pleasant country, and we allowed enough time to get there.
We drove via La Roque-Gageac, as Sandie had recommended it (and there was a mini-festival happening there). The town had very dramatic backdrop of a very large wall of rock, and a lovely part of the river.
We also had a little stop in Beynac, which is a small, medieval, and very hilly town right on the river. We drove uphill on the very narrow roads, avoiding other traffic narrowly, and after the town, drove in a large arc, doubling back on ourselves to have a look at the Chateau. We paused, but didn't get out of the car. The other road back into the town was just as narrow and scary, but we made it back onto the D703 without incident.
We then drove on to Saint-Cyprien, and on to Mouzens. Claire's directions were very good, and we found the house easily, after winding uphill through some lovely woods. The house was a new build, with a tower, and really beautiful. The garden was well tended, and there was a huge back yard.
We went inside, had a drink, and nibbles, and caught up. Adam was absorbed in his video game, and throughout the rest of the evening, he explained to us all about PokemonGo. Claire talked about their trip in Japan, which made me more determined to go one day.
Claire had made an amazing Moroccan dinner, and we had strawberries for dessert. It was a lovely evening, and so good to catch up with her.
We drove back to St Cirq without incident, let ourselves in with the key that Sandie had given us, and went to bed.
