It is always special walking from
our own front door. We bought this book
from the library at Varen and yesterday we did our first walk from it. We were looking for a new walk we could do
without getting in the car.
It was a
beautiful day, more like summer than autumn so, we packed a picnic and headed up
the Mazerolles footpath to join the route.
It is a three hour circular walk.
We were astounded to find that, although we thought we knew the area
well, most of the walk was along footpaths new to us. We stopped for lunch at the charming hamlet
of La Piale. We didn’t see a soul, apart
from a lone hunter who assured us that it was safe to continue and, towards the
end, about 30 motorcyclists! This being
France, we all respected each other’s enjoyment of the environment, which meant
we didn’t get shot at or run over! It
was a delightful walk, enhanced by the golden autumn colours and the fact that
we were on new territory.
