[QUOTE="roving_rufus, post: 1148840, member: 21017"] Day 6 Fourchaud to St Pierre le Vieux 23km So I had a wonderful stay with my hosts- they have walked several caminos, and in addition to hosting pilgrims the husband maintains the local camino way markers. A fabulous dinner in their garden and an early night in a comfy bed, breakfast and chocolate cake for a picnic too. A wonderful time! Such hosts make walking in France delightful! So it was misty this morning and I am going completely off piste today heading to Fontenay le Comte. A lovely stroll in the forest, then by the river, an old railway and finally by the river into town. Fontenay is described as one of those undiscovered gems worth a detour to in Vendee - it is a very pretty riverside town, huge church - I enjoyed my wander through but the exit was busy and more industrial. Then the landscape change to flat plains of wheat before reaching Souil and the outer edge of the marais (marshes). The last 2km to Souil through the fields I kept chanting 2km to Souil and the bar. But the bar was at the far end of town and I just got in before she closed up (no lingering!). But just outside of town was a lovely park beside the river - nice to chill in the shade...just 1km to my campsite now to finish up. [/QUOTE]
