May 20, 2009 - Montlucon

Today we continued north and drove to Montlucon, a town with a population of around 40,000. ... When we arrived in Montlucon, the first thing we noticed was shops were open even though it was lunch time. ... Many places close down from around 12:30-2:30 for lunch in the other places we have been, which can be a bit inconvenient if you are looking for something for lunch.Today we continued north and drove to Montlucon, a town with a population of around 40,000. ...
