Today asks little of your legs and more of your head. The land is flat, the horizon wide and the road runs straight for a long way. You walk through the Beauce, the granary of France: fields stretching to the edge of the sky.

There is hardly any shade. If the wind picks up, it will be right in your face. On the other hand, you will reach Artenay in about four hours and still have the afternoon ahead of you. Time for a spot of washing, a long break, perhaps a nap. Take the rest the Camino gives you today.

Tips for this stage

  • There is almost no shade: a hat and sun cream matter more here than an extra jumper.
  • Flat terrain tempts you to walk too fast. Take it easy, there is no hurry.
  • You will arrive early. Use the afternoon to do your washing and have a proper rest.
