Today, Monsieur Honey had a day out with the boys...his story to follow in another post.
I spent the morning doing some laundry and other household chores.
Madame M, my new friend who doubles as my walking companion/ tour guide arrived at my door just after 1PM and I joined her for another walk..she said "we can do as much or as little as you want..and if you need to stop we will call "Monsieur Guy" to pick us up".
Away we went, walking out of the village into the countryside with my plan not to do a too long of a trek today.
Madame M suggested we walk to "Château de Lantis".
The Château de Lanits is a 17th century monument that is now privately owned, offering tours.
Centuries ago in one of the interminable wars in France, this castle was a safe house for soldiers.
It was a very warm and sunny afternoon.
I had left the cottage today without my pedometer so I had no idea how far we had gone..by the end of our tour we had walked just over "10" kilo-meters through tiny hamlets, tree-lined lanes and we found our "Atlantis ".
Setting out.
Who knows what's down this lane?
The rolling hills.
"Over hill, over dale
Through bush, through briar....I do wander everywhere"
Quote from William Shakespeare..Midsummer Night's Dream.
The Château de Lantis.
Colourful shutters.
The road home!
