We’re in a large municipal gîte adjacent to the town hall, with two Netherlanders who walked in one day what we did in two, a bicyclist, and Alain. There is no heat and it is cold!
There’s a kitchen, one bathroom that fortunately has a nice hot shower that took me forever to figure out how to turn on, a stove and fridge and a little grocery with very limited hours and stock right next door. Fortunately we were able to buy a couple of beers, some juice, yogurt, cheese and bread. Oh, and 2 eggs. There is nothing else in the town, or anywhere for miles around. We ate what was left of the generous sandwiches last night’s campground made for us.
More beautiful scenery today. Lots of not too steep or long ups and downs, and a bit too much pavement walking, although on empty country lanes. Not a singe shop, bar or place to get water. Fortunately we had what we needed.
So far, this has been the most unpredictable Camino ever! I’ve tried booking a chambre d’hôte for tomorrow night in Premery, the biggest town so far, but it doesn’t seem to have a lot of options either.
We had nice conversations with the Dutch walkers, and Alain was able to translate the stories told by the woman who came to take our Euros and stamp our credentials.
We’re certainly living a simplified life in very quiet, uncrowded places these days. I’m sure traveling through this area by car would be quite a different experience. The cold weather is great to walk in.
We saw a small red fox in the low marshy spot just before we climbed up here last night, heard many birds and spied our first magpies of the walk. We’ve encountered lots of white cows who eye us with great curiosity, a runaway lamb, and two horses today.
Who knows what tomorrow will bring?
Caminobleu 
We are getting some rain! You are surrounded by green. It could be Oz!

How did I miss this post? Hoping you found a place to stay in Premery. Not many people on the Régordane. Talked with one man from Bretagne this morning. Then hecwas off and away as we moseyed along.
