    More walking in the French countryside

    April 19 in France ⋅ ☀️ 63 °F

    A hard 9 mile walk on a spectacular day. Not a cloud in the sky and in the 60’s which is quite a difference from when it sleeted yesterday!
    Our walks here have a large range of walking surfaces. There are trails, tracks, rocky tracks, asphalt and just rocks. We experience deciduous woods, farm fields, cliff edges and small villages.
    There is always something new to see. Jeff is always game for whatever is happening, but even though I can walk on flat ground forever, I dislike going up a steep incline and I need lots of breaks so I don’t start whining. Often we can walk for hours and never see another person.
    Our luggage is transferred to the next place we are staying and each day, the hotel or inn provides with dinner, breakfast the next morning and a packed lunch before we leave.
    We love this type of vacation and we joke that after walking all day, it is guilt free eating and drinking at dinner.
    Tonight we stayed in Meyronne in a castle from 1100. It was a very interesting and our room had huge angled rafter beams that were perfect for hitting your head in the dark.
