A leisurely walk on the 'jour de Ferie'( bank holiday)

Karen and I have for the past 3 months taken to a morning run three times a week, concious that we are both at a special age we wanted to keep on top of our fitness especially as the summer season approaches.

But running does not always allow you to take in the scenary too.Today we walked our route, starting just 500 metres from home we head towards Villars passing the Chateau Borgogne.


Passing through the Cherry Orchards where the blossom has turned into ripening cherries, the poppies are also a blaze of colour.


And then the vineyards where the vines have been growing at 1 cm per day. These are the grapes forming.
Looking back at saint Saturnin Les Apt, we are now at the half way point!
Whilst ahead the undulating vines lead to Villars.

Roses are everywhere in the most vibrant colours.

As are the Iris 


Today, we are walking, and it  is a public holiday, so it seemed rude not to stop and have a little refreshment


Before we take in more glorious scenary on route home.

We are happy to provide this route to our clients who may wish to walk, cycle or even run it!
