Dinner in Ferte St. Cyr

H�tel St Cyr, 15 Faubourg Bretagne, La Fert� St Cyr

As we shown our rooms, we passed workmen who were working on a steam room. Our hostess remarked that we should have waited another week. Man- after that hike, a steam room would definitely have been welcome! Our room had a very nice tub, however, so we weren't so bad off.

Dinner was interesting as there wasn't a menu available. We were entitled to half board as part of the walking tour. We think there was another couple staying at the hotel but there was no evidence of them as we went to dinner.

First course: terrine de cerf (sp?) Otherwise known as deer. Main course: venison stew. The next course was goat cheese and we finished up with apple tart with cinnamon ice cream. It was all really good. Goes to show that sometimes you need to be a little more open to food suggestions.

We went for a brief walk through the town (it was very small and there were very few people around). Everything seemed shut down. After checking where our walking route began as prep for the next day, we returned to the hotel.
