Blois

We'll play it safe today and just get to Blois, 65kms away. Orleans was difficult to find our way out of. Just lack of signage again


Meung-sur-Loire for the caffeine fix ( it's like changing your car to high octane fuel)


Then at Beaugency it's time to seek out a tourist office for the next map. There's 109 'departments' in France and you need to find the first tourist office after crossing the border into the next department.





We stay on the right bank all the way today


Now we DO get up close to this nuclear power station. The reactors are the smaller towers with the domed tops.

Yes ,thought you'd be interested


Now we know where the two walkers are heading. See the scallop shells on their packs. Typically pilgrims walk a section for perhaps a month then pick up where they left off next time. All with the goal of Santiago-de-compostello eventually
