Thanks to some very good (and kind!) friends who have a small cottage near to the town I was able to spend just over a week in the area in August 2003. I drove down from Paris on the very last day of a heat wave that had lasted for several weeks, once I arrived the weather broke and the days were largely cloudy with some occasional rain. This was a blessing for the French who had been suffering in the heat, and for the farmers needing rain, but it wasn't quite what I had in mind when I arranged the trip.
