Parc Naturel Des Vosges
... night, it was now a beautiful day but just minutes into the walk the contented sighs begin followed by inane comments such as "Oh, aren't we lucky?" and "Isn't this gorgeous?". (you the reader, comme moi, are probably shouting obscenities at the screen, you would think Little Dilwyn Farmhouse was in the middle of Hackney).
To be fair, we were all really enjoying the walk and had finally mastered the french system of showing rights of way and footpath ...
