On Monday 17 February I walked with the Phoenix en Claise group around Marcé sur Esves. We did 5.5 kilometres, taking an hour and a half. The temperature was 14°C and the sun was shining.
There is still a lot of standing water in the fields. Finn the lurcher turns around to check why his Mum and I have stopped.
Lesser Periwinkle Vinca minor (Fr. Petite Pevenche), a common wild native plant here.
Our friends Anne and Denis nearly bought this house 20 years ago. If they had we likely would never have met them.
A flooded poplar plantation. The poplar trees, as usual, have lots of mistletoe.
The exterior of the charming little church in the village of Marcé sur Esves.
An interior view of the church.
The Angevin style side chapel, with 21st century window glass. See link below for further details.
It's early spring so the floral arrangements feature wattle blossom (Fr. mimosa).
Box pews.
Interior view.
Entering the medieval church through the 17th century porch.
