20 May Friday. La Reole to Serignac sur Garonne

We left the Chambre d'hôte in Reole at 10.00. A most amazing old house and couple. Looked nothing on outside, inside it was like a Tardis. Room after room, great big lovely garden and everywhere full of STUFF. Latest magazine in loo - 1984. Now on the Canal du Lateral. Lovely ride. 40 miles on traffic free quiet paths. Stopped in Le Mas-d'Agenais for lunch and to see the Rembrandt in the church, sadly on loan to Louvre. Lunch was good though, under the roof of an old grain store in the centre.

Temperature rising, though the trees do give much needed shade.

Found hotel, Le Prinz Noir. An old monastery, the monks must have lived well - this one had a great restaurant and a swimming pool.
Mileage 43 miles. Total 436
