Across my country home is the Yonne River, following the sidewalk towards a bridge, you shall find…read morestairs to take you to a narrow foot bridge. Walk across a meadow and a lily pond, there you shall encounter a canal. Canal Nivernais. Two bike path, one on each side, with endless wild flowers and song birds, fish and ducks, you are well on your way to Ville de Chevroches. A village dating back to 2nd century, this place is approx. 1 KM away or as the American in me would say, half an mile. You will encounter a lock (lock #42, Armes), and then a ramp to take you up to a bridge filled with hanging flower baskets. The village is well preserved and still has occupants. You will find doors that open to your chest height and lots of lots flower beds, veggies garden and fruit orchards. The village has one wooden bus stop, not unlike the ones you'd see in Bergen, Norway. Continue walking up, you come upon a slight hill where you can climb to the top of the village. You have a view of the plains, the meadows, the farm land and endless white dairy cows, and oh the river and canal. When you come around the motor road, down you walk, you will come upon a few homes with more hanging flower basket. Very cute and adorable. If you continue on foot and turn just before the bridge, you will come upon a picnic / boat docking area covered by cherry blossoms. July is cherry season for Burgundy, at $2/lb, you will eat some of the best cherries you will ever have in your entire life. This village has some really interesting artifacts from 2nd and 4th century, and you can find them in the local museum in Clamecy. You will not find tourists - this is country French. You will, however, find the most beautiful nature site and a piece of history. And... if you arrive soon, you will also find me, doing evening walks at 9:45 PM. Yes the sun is just setting then.
