Pauline and I returned to walking with our local randonnee club yesterday after missing quite a few weeks due to work commitments and the weather. The walk was around the small village of Esves-le-Moutier
It was a hot sunny day but fortunately the walk offered a mix of open countryside and shade.
A couple of pleasant surprises was a walk past this lovely property Les Brandelles which had been used as a convalescence hospital during the first world war but is now a beautiful house, which happens to have a public right-of-way passed its front door!

The other was arriving at the source of the river Esves...a magical place (more on this later)

Is chivalry dead? this image seems to ask but it was only after the ladies had vacated the bench that the men took their turn!

We even had a peek in the church which for me was a return visit having featured it as one of my 'Church on Sundays' way back in 2013.

Merci Jim pour ces belles photos et documentaire, c'est toujours agréable de vous avoir parmi nous.
