[At the Paiherols village in the Occitaine region of France]
Yesterday was a rest day, which I welcomed. I think I herniated a disk the day before I left the US, so my right leg is weak and hurts. Bummer… But I can still cycle and sleep is okay. It’s sitting that’s hard…
Got up early and wandered. Saw lots of Salers breed of cows and empty countryside.
The village is tiny but has a lovely church.
This is volcano country:
Nonetheless, I went for a scenic sunny hike up towards the Bane volcano (“Puy de Bane”), but it was too sun exposed so instead I did the 10km trail made to show off the fence sculptures made to celebrate the local shepherds.
Check these out:
Here’s the volcano:
