A leisurely walk in the countryside to round off the weekend. It was a chance to explore the countryside in an area we don’t often visit on foot. A pleasant stroll along the country lanes.

A leisurely stroll through the countryside, taking in the picturesque village of Chevroz (the castle is not visible) and the large market town of Devecey, which is unfortunately approached via a rather characterless industrial estate.
