We were up early this morning facing a long drive across the French interior. We bade farewell to B&T and the cats and set off in the rain

| We were treated to a stunning rainbow as we left. |
We’ve opted for the most direct route to our first house-sit near Avignon, even though it’s not the quickest route. We find that avoiding the highways usually offers better views of the countryside and today didn’t disappoint.
The final stage of our trip wound into the Auvergne region and we were treated to views of snow capped peaks around us.
We arrived at Murat just before 5pm and the temperature was 3°C with the odd snowflake. It is forecast to snow a little overnight and we're wondering if we should have packed warmer clothes; we thought it was spring already!

| Our stunning hotel, the family who own it live next door and their family have lived there for more than 200 years. |
 |
| You can just make out the snowy peaks in the distance |
 |
| Murat is a beautiful, medieval village in central France |
 |
| Top left in the picture is the white statue of the Virgin Mary and her child looking over the village. |
Tomorrow, we're heading on to Rochefort-du-Gard meet Orca and Frodo, a dog and cat who need looking after for a couple of days.
