I don't think I've ever seen a smoke bush in as full flower as this one. A lot of gardens, in addition to great display's of flowers, had a really good selection of trees and bushes.
The town of Saint Savin was very pretty. I'd popped in from the campsite to get some food for a picnic dinner, just made it, I went to the 'huit a huit' (8 'til 8) that shut at 7.00! And then decided to explore a little.
There was a large town square with a few restaurants and bars around its tree lined centre. An abbey that's on the UNESCO World Heritage List, and some impressive bridges.
