Un pied devant l'autre

One foot in front of the other...


  ...  that is what it will take to complete our walk to Santiago de Compostela in Spain.

We (Madame M and I) each have a personal goal for our own reasons to walk parts of the Pilgramage route.
We are in the researching stages of when, where and what part of the trail we will complete...and there is the training.


Madame M loves to walk or you could say she maybe even be a bit obsessed with walking and has encouraged me to join her during our stay in France.

Our walks (which are usually daily, unless Monsieur Honey and I have something planned)) vary in length from 8 to 12 kilometers over some undulating terrain.

We usually know where we are and only on a couple of occasions have we felt "Lost"... but we know all roads lead to Dégagnac.


This post is a compilation of "Postcards" from various walks over the past week...

 
    Le Frau ... The forest


We usually don't follow the many guide books available at the local Tourist offices suggesting various walks in the area. 
This past week, we decided to follow one called "Circuit des Églises" which started in Dégagnac and directed us to Rampoux and ended in Lavercantiere.


   
    The route directed us through some rugged terrain ...

And walking allows us to see and observe much more than if we were using other modes of transportation.

    Walking brings you closer to nature ... 
    here we found Kermit the Frog croaking!




   Lavender...

    Wild orchids...





    My friend "Madame M" may we catch a train back home?
