 Rochefort is also a spa town but the spas didn't become popular until the 1990s. Togight I'm staying in a spa hotel from that era, which you can hardly see here but which has quite a brutal concrete look. One of the reasons why I chose it was because there was bike parking just across the road. It turns out that that area is currently dug up for what looks like the installation of a pipeline so instead there is this temporary bike parking. I wouldn't get to use it for long though because the receptionist told me to bring my bike in and park it in the courtyard. I don't think the racks there are as good as this but this is the first hotel in a few days where the receptionist has spoken to me in French and I'm worried that if I don't do what he says he'll think I don't understand.
