Oct 28 : Rest day in Villefranche

Our third and final rest day, though this rest followed a few days with fewer kilometres trampled underfoot.

We took advantage of our leisurely morning with breakfast in the cute common area at Les Terrasses du Maison Pago: baguette, cake, butter, jam, coffee, juice and fruit salad accompanied by stories from our affable host Pierre.

A healthy start to the day
We like city views; we walked up the Côte du Calvaire for a great view of the city.
Villefranche-de-Rouergue, bastide town founded in 1252
Back in town on the Averyron

The afternoon was spent napping, reading, and resting.We went back La Gabelle for supper: pizza, lasagna, green salad, wine, and 4 more scoops of ice cream.
Complete with kitschy umbrellas

We finished off the evening with a walk around the quiet but cute town.

Quiet Villefranche
