May is the month for walks in France

We have now been on a number of randonées with various groups and on our own.

The weather is just perfect at this time of the year to walk up and down dales and valleys, wind through beautiful laneways and paths and eventually return to our starting destination.

The 7km walk to Glenic and beyond left from the viaduct.

Absolutely amazing place.

Discovering waterfalls

Passed waterfalls.

Views to the mountains

Church at Glenic

Laneways filled with wildflowers

The other walk was a 12km walk from Gouzon - pretty flat but again absolutely spectacular.

Starting out on our 12km walk at 9am

On our way through the most beautiful forests

Half way point - we were greeted with Coffee, cakes, Orange Juice etc

Bill and I decided to back track over some of the ground that we covered on the 12km walk on 1 May. Words cannot describe the scenery and the views being up so high. And it's all just around the corner from us.

Each walk seems to provide us with jaw dropping moments and also some "get out of my air moments".

We helped out at a picnic/walk at a place called Roches.

It has a giant statue of the Virgin Mary.

Walkers began their journey at Chatelus Malvalieux and ended it at Roches in time to enjoy all the donated food we had set up onto tables. There were about 200 people, so quite alot of food. I have never seen so many quiches on the one table.

Lining up to eat

At our local Boussac markets, there are quite a few stall holders selling flowers. It looks amazing. I have to hold myself back from just buying everything as it looks so great. I think I have used every pot in my garden now so have little room for anything else to plant.

Tonight we are off to our local hall for an Entrecote Soiree - it's great as it's only 2 doors up. Just have to ensure our steak will be well cooked - something the french don't seem to do - they like it on the raw side.

Bonne soiree......
