In the distance, a tractor crawls across a field. The horizon is miles away. You’re walking through the Beauce: wheat as far as the eye can see, a big sky and wind with nothing to stop it. Trees are scarce, and a church tower or silo is your compass.
It’s an easy day, almost completely flat and around 4 hours of walking. Your legs get a rest, but your mind has to play its part. The landscape barely changes, which can feel monotonous or wonderfully calm, depending on your mood. You’ll spot Toury long before you get there. If you want to sleep there, book ahead, or choose a place before or beyond it. Find your rhythm in the first few hours and the rest will follow naturally.
