The car hire organisation was immediately across the road from the railway station. It utilisd the railway car park as the storage area for its vehicles.

I hired this mini van as there was room in the back for me to store my bike and for me to sleep, it also had a sun roof.

I saw Wendy off on the train to Paris via Renne and I headed for the Dordogne and our friend Kirsty Brownlee. Renne was on the way.

Spoiler alert. The day was a disaster for both of us, further details may be found in the individual sections of our travels.
