with excellent dinner Le Lièvre Gourmand in Vailly-sur-Sauldre
About five miles away in Oisly up on the plateau, the vines (again on a quick look) appeared not to have been affected by the hail as this sight of some generous bunched shows.
Then we headed across to Aubigny-sur-Nère, where we had a booked chambres d'hôte for the night, going via the pretty village of Pierrefitte-sur-Sauldre.

Aubigny-sur-Nère is famous for its connections with Scotland in particular with the Stuarts and the Château des Stuarts - details here.
Our b&b was with Claude Courboin, Gorgeot, 18700 Aubigny-sur-Nère (tel: 02.48.58.03.16) – just to the west of Aubigny on the road to Lamotte-Beuvron. Claude will feature in the second day's report.

Bob. I'm sorry to say that there appears to be a number of things wrong with Canada – firstly few Loire wines available and those that are – are pricey. Now no old buildings – place doesn't appear to have much going for it! Jim
