Wednesday 23 May
Picked our way through the long wet grass and dandelion heads to go and return Madam's fuses which allowed us to hook up to electricity and took photos of the pretty situation. We could hear cow bells on the mountain but couldn't spot the cows.
Set off for the Col des Aravis which climbed steeply round hairpin bends, saw waterfalls and pretty villages which are ski resorts in the season. At the summit loads of clouds and mist so you couldn't see the mountains any more.
As we were descending down the mountain we suddenly came across a herd of 50 or more beautiful large red coloured cows walking along the road all with huge bells attached to very wide collars around their necks. The sound was quite enchanting. They were escorted by what looked like a whole family with mother and small children following on behind.
We trundled through the French countryside using the B roads and in a turn of the road were suddenly confronted by a huge statue of a lady honouring the people who fought for the French resistance in 1944 then we ended up at Digoin on the Loire where we camped for the night.
