We arrived by train yesterday (Friday) afternoon feeling a bit tired and grumpy. We had to change trains back in Toulouse and the next train was an old one and very full so we were quite cramped. Wendy had the directions to walk from the train station to our hotel ready. It always seems to be through the grungiest part of town and you start to wonder about spending any time here. But then we arrived and sat outside for a lovely café grand crème before going up to our room. On the 3rd floor again but this time there is an elevator. Yeh!!! The room is clean with good big windows that open to the street and to trees.
Using our handy dandy local map of the old town part of this city we found our way to a beautiful canal with so many restaurants alongside. We found the tourist info office, and low and behold there is a Medieval Festival this weekend. We found lots of interesting shops and a big Carrefour city store for some supplies.
