Day 59 A city of Steps

I want to start by thanking all of you who reached out and said kind and encouraging words to us. It was really heartening. Thank you!!

All of our arrangements went super smoothly today. We had a very nice and punctual taxi driver. We got to see the Eglise Saint Louis in Roanne. It was very pretty. We discovered that it is Neo-Romanesque. It was built from 1699-1730.

Our Uber driver was there early at the church so we got on our way early to Polignac. It was our first time in an electric four door Porsche. A very smooth ride.

We were dropped off in Polignac. Where we had planned to stay but decided last night to go ahead and walk into Le Puy. I’m glad we did. So much to see. But before we left Polignac we had a really nice lunch and got to see the church.

The bad thing is we took a wrong turn out of Polignac which added 2 kms to our journey. As we came into Le Puy just crossing the river we were hijacked by a very nice couple who had a 15 minute conversation standing on the sidewalk then took us on a tour of Le Puy while directing us to the office of tourism. It was very nice of them but added another km to the trip and we were wearing our backpacks. But all is well that ends well.

We found our lodging for the night. And then went to the Cathedral and got another set of credentials and got our stamp. Errands have been done and we are staying in for dinner. We have two more days to explore Le Puy. Oh! Le Puy is a city of steps. So many.
