Scenes around Burgundy, France

May 9

We are on an 18-day adventure with repeat clients Gayle and Peter from Amarillo, Texas. We started this trip in Chartres, France and will end in Santiago de Compostela, Spain. Along the way we are exploring historic sites connected with the medieval pilgrimage route from France to Santiago. Millions of feet have passed through this gorgeous countryside. We are doing it from the comfort of a Volkswagen van.
