2019 Day 102 – Le Bec-Hellouin
It’s time. With our ferry booked for Friday, we need to make the last long drive, pushing north towards Honfleur. At over 200 kilometres, the drive takes most of the day. We drive through endless […]
2019 Day 95 – Apremont-sur-Allier and Nevers
I can’t resist another walk through Apremont-sur-Allier this morning, if only to capture it in the morning light. It seems there’s more to discover: there’s the church, no doubt once chapel to the chateau, not […]

2019 Day 26 – Perouges
If you ever wanted to truly feel that you’ve stepped back into the Middle Ages, then I have the perfect spot for you.
2019 Day 25 – Lods and Baume les Messieurs
We’re back on the Les Plus Beaux Villages trail today with a visit to not one, but two pretty villages. Our journey to Lods takes us into the land of Comte – France’s famous semi-hard […]
