October 12

Driving most of the way to Paris – choosing not to drive all the way in on Sunday night – we stop at Nogent-le-Rotrou, should have continued on to Chartres.  A Sunday night in a small town with absolutely nothing open – even the bistro at another hotel closed at 7 p.m.  So we eat crackers at the bar in the hotel.  Can’t recall anything quite so depressing in Spain – there is always a bar open with something to eat!

We did stop for lunch in a small town right off the autoroute, Vitre. Unfortunately, we didn't have time to explore because it looked like an interesting and pretty town to visit.
