Rest day in Troyes

My aim today was to impersonate a cat, mostly  snoozing occasionally interrupted by food and a gentle stroll. I woke up at 7am, had a cup of tea and went back to sleep. After a suitably large breakfast, predominantly croissants, I had a walk around the beautiful and surprisingly uncrowded town. 
The gothic churches with stained glass windows were beautiful and remarkably peaceful.







The old city has half timbered houses and interesting shops. I’m not an enthusiastic shopper but my little grandson now has a very cute new outfit and there are some delicious patisseries in the fridge in my room waiting to be devoured.







An afternoon nap, a bit of light reading, a long soak in the bath and a cheeky glass or two of rose plonk should hopefully turn the sleepy moggy back into a cyclist before tomorrow’s reacquaintance with Bob the bike.
