What happens to everyone on a Sunday?

Day 34 Sunday 30th May
Esbints to Seix - 4 miles!
Well, that wasn't too much effort. It would gave been a little longer
had I been able to use the path instead of the road.
Seix is a very attractive large village, busy on a Sunday morning/
lunchtime, dead thereafter.
Unfortunately the hotel i'm staying in for Monday night is closed for
three days before that so I can't have both nights there. So Sunday
night was spent at the place I had lunch - the Auberge de Mont Valier
- and very good it was too. I think the owner found me a bit of a
curiosity, or felt sorry for me, as I had a complimentary glass of
wine with my lunch. In spitenof plans for a light picnic later in the
day, I had to eat there in the evening as well as there was nothing
else open. He did me a salad, presented it with another free wine and
then when I asked for a "grand cafe crème decaféiné" it was really
"grand" - in a breakfast cup, ie at least twice the usual quantity. I
feel a bit mean not staying there a second night bit arrangements were
already made
And the other hotel looks good too, and it's cheaper. I'll just have
to keep my head down when I get back to Seix later with Ben.
