Our first walk in department Picardie. Lovely weather, not too cold and certainly not too hot, so we opted for a long walk in the area of Any-Martin-Rieux.
We start from our B&B Bel Any and walk towards the village of Watigny. The track is a paved road, but don't worry: there is not much traffic here ! Just forest and agriculture and a few houses here and there is what you will encounter on this track.
Just enjoy the tranquility, listen to all the birdsongs and also watch out for deer, wild boar and other animals
We watched this ladybird while enjoying our lunch at a picnic area which was hidden in the forest.
The forest here in this part is huge and if you watch carefully you will encounter wildlife frequently. Unfortunately all this wildlife is too quick to be captured on a photo, but we did see some deers and a wild board.
We reach Signy-le-Petit but are feeling rather tired. We opt to take the quickest route back to our B&B. For those still feeling fit you could opt to go through this small village and then cross some fields and forest back to the B&B. We however took the easiest route: via a road (again: not many cars here) and then back through the Chemin de Signy (Forest of Signy)
A lovely walk and, besides a few people in the villages, we have not encountered any other persons. Just the way we like it. And .......maybe you have noticed but Elgar is not on any of the pictures. He decided to not to go with us on this holiday as he said his French was terrible. What a wimp !
