A good day for a walk and crêpes

Today is our annual 'Randonnée des crêpes' and we have a beautiful day for it. It is all go in ours and many other kitchens locally - each aiming for 40+ crêpes.

Randonnée des crêpes 2018 - Le Grand-Pressigny

Yesterday was our annual 'Randonnée des crêpes' in Le Grand-Pressigny where over 270 visitors joined us for a walk around the village and surrounding countryside with the reward of crepes and cider awaiting their return. 

Heading en-mass along 'Rue de la Vielle Poste'

By the time we crossed over the river Claise on 'Ave. Andre Theuriet' the large group was already beginning to thin out.

Heading off into the sun and countryside and forrest people began to settle into their own pace.

The halfway stop for refreshments is always welcome...

before heading back out.

Le Grand-Pressigny and crepes await us in the distance.

Getting closer...

and closer still.

There was an option of 12.5 km or 9km with the shorter route taking you through the chateau grounds which on a day such as yesterday was looking resplendent under a blue sky.

Our final destination was the Salle-des-Fetes for cider and crepes which were well received by our guests. As ever, a great combined effort by the club in providing around a thousand pancakes plus  setting up / clearing up the hall.

Sunday stroll...and a thousand crepes

Sunday was a big day for the Le Grand Pressigny randonnée club...over 200 walkers joined us for the 'Randonnée des crêpes'. It was a good walk up by the chateau before heading out for a circular route around the village.

The weather could have been kinder but didn't really detract from a good walk.

A welcome break.

On the home straight...

as Etableau beckons.

Views from the bridge at Etableau.

The village in sight...
