Today we drove further east in France towards Switzerland. We are staying in a lovely small mountain village, Besse-et-Saint-Anastasia’s, in a small Chambres d’hôtes.

Our room has a wood chip dry toilet. I’ve never seen or used one before. After using it you just add some wood chips. There is no smell! I assume the bag gets replaced every day.


When we stay in small towns in the off season, we usually ask our host or hostess to make us a dinner reservation because often there aren’t many restaurants open. Tonight our hostess made us s reservation at a fondue restaurant that was about a five minute walk away. It was a delicious meal.
