Much more pleasant walking, off-road and away from the worst of the suburban sprawl. Our entry into Le Muy was complicated by a complete lack of signing and a road that had been washed away during the June floods – one abandoned car still remaining. Difficult not to wonder if the occupants had been one of the number of deaths reported. We had to find a long detour but with Paul's 6th sense and the GPS, we arrived at the Gite de Groupe without too much trouble. Later our waitress told us that the French policy was to close media access once the mortality rate was over 35. She claimed that in her region alone, there had been 200 deaths. On a more positive note, we met the owners of an equestrian centre who helped us out of Frejus and gave Nellie a sack of food.
Accommodation: Gite de Groupe Parador – currently another flood victim but due to open soon – can't say enough good words about its manager, Remy. Great guy, horse tolerant and refused payment.
