Along the Marne


4th June  and I set out along the GR14, crossing the Marne at Pogny.
 ..and following the Marne valley northwards through poppy sprinkled wheat and barley fields..
 The GR was well-marked here...
 --sometimes just as well!...
The white and red bands denote a long distance GR, and the single yellow band in the upper photo shows that the path is also part of a PR or Petit Randonnee - a marked path set up by a local community independent of the national network.
 At intervals one also comes across signposts like this one.....
Some useful info about Grand Randonnee in France, including detailed maps, can be found at

In Challons-en-Champagne Zorbee attracts yet another tiny fan club...
