Day 4 – May 7, 2013- Villedieu des poeles


Today we took a drive out to the little village of Villedieu des poeles where there is a working copper foundry.  It was market day so when we arrived there were lots of stalls full of al kinds of things, fruit, veggies, sausages, seafood, cheeses…etc

Unfortunately it was lunch time so the foundry was closed and would be for several hours, so what else could we do but find lunch of our own.  We picked a little creperie and had a nice lunch with a couple of crepes for dessert.

We had a lovely conversation with the waitress who asked if we were Canadian and asked if we had ever had a “que de castor” as she had visited Canada a couple of years ago and while staying with friends they had her try a Beavertail.  I said of course as they are from Ottawa.  It turns out she stayed in Gatineau…small world.
