Sunday walk

We had planned a walk for our last day with Chris and Louise. They had joined us as Workaways, but over the 2 weeks they had spent with us we had got to know each other, and will definitely be staying in contact, hopefully one day they will return. We share a love of walking, and enjoying our environment, so before they left us we wanted to show them another favourite walk of ours.

It starts off in Landreville and follows the river as far as a ford crossing. You don’t cross the river, but turn left up through a pretty forest.

This is such a gorgeous time of year, with all the little spring flowers coming into bloom. We saw lots of delicate white anenomes, pretty little violets, and a beautiful mauve and yellow flower that we learnt was called the pasqueflower, which is a member of the buttercup family.

The last part of the walk, after dropping down through vineyards, and just before reaching Essoyes, you follow the river back to Landreville. Along here is a beautiful, little, old stone chapel.

They have definitely done some work to it since the last time we passed here, and it’s stopped it from decaying further. It actually looks like they may be renovating it. We were able to peer in and see some of the old stones they had found. The inside of the roof was simple stunning, all made from local stone.

We’d enjoyed a good walk together, totalling nearly 13 km, which was enough for us for one day. We’ve put the link to the walk on our website if you are interested when visiting us to do it yourself.
