Yes there was a Thursday market but it is obviously a day when most of the stall holders decide to go elsewhere as there were no stalls on the outside of the market and relatively few inside.
With a Carrefour store being handy (the same one as yesterday’s money drop) we were able to get most of what we wanted either from the market (a lady in the boucherie was very helpful advising where on the animal what we were buying came from and how to cook it. She also was very proud of her English in a humerous way given the comments she made to a lady standing beside us as we walked off ) or from Carrefour.
After lunch we set the GPS for Lac Kir and set off. Either the GPS was inaccurate or my navigation using it was shite because it didn’t seem to give us the most direct route.
The walk was worthwhile however as it took us outside the city and to a very pleasant environment. There are waterways from the lake which flow closer to town and river boats use a series of locks to get to the inland “port”.
It was hot as we walked there and we cursed ourselves for not bringing the togs with us as a swim at the “beach” would have cooled us off...
... but after seeing the quality of the water the decision whether to swim or not would have been a no brainer. 
On the way back to town we followed our nose and found a shorter and more scenic walk back along Promenade de L’Ouche confirming that Google Maps can’t always be relied on!
