Gorges de Tarn? Glorious part of the world. Enjoy. Although I know you well enough to know that you will!

Yesterday was an afternoon drive- fabulous curvy roads - no one here except us
The OCL keep up â cracking pace - IC is impressed!
We finished at a vineyard about 20kms from base- with a tasting - of course!

Today a drive across the Tarn taking in La Corde en Ciel and Beaucastel before stopping for a simply amazing lunch just outside Rodez.
We pulled into a Bowling complex of all places- with a restaurant that was absolutely packed.
We were there to eat Aligoté an Aubrac winter speciality - ideal for a 37 deg July Sunday!
Starter - an amazing charcuterie selectionImage
