Setting off from Montmoreau-St-Cybard, we came across 'route barrée' signs so we foolishly devised our own alternative to the handy circuit route card we had picked up. Obviously this would lead to two things: Extra distance and getting hopelessly lost. Much later, at a crossroads, we hailed a passing cycliste who fourni une assistance, explaining that we would be able to get through the roadworks ahead on our bikes, it was just the cars that couldn't. He also gave us a potted history of his life and wished us well. We were glad we took his advice because otherwise we would have missed St-Amant, a beautiful village on a hill, where we stopped for petit repas. Back in Montmoreau, it was past midday and therefore shut and time for sieste.
