On the road towards Jametz, we passed the turning to Peuvillers and took the next left marked Lissey. We have passed through Lissey before - but not by this road - another new-to-us one! It’s pretty countryside - and soon the clouds cleared to blue and sunshine.
From Lissey we took the Breheville road and, then, we followed another “new” road. It climbed up through twists and turns with thick forests each side and suddenly a clear patch on our left with stunning views - but nowhere to stop…the road was empty but narrow and one never knows what may be headed in our direction! But…just a mile or so further - a small area had been cleared and a picnic table and benches added, the hedge cut down and there a view of the magnificent Woevre Plain.
Further on, we followed the signpost to Haraumont, which we came to from yet another different route! And we thought there were no roads left near to home to explore!! On the heights of Haraumont we saw a buzzard - but he immediately flew away so no chance of a photo. We descend the hills and arrived at Ecurey-sur-Verdunois, took the Peuvillers road and stopped for a photo shoot with some of the locals…
…and thus back home, bringing the sunshine with us and a very pleasant 20C.
Another enjoyable round-trip and a lucky break in the weather.
Grand photos - fabulous views too. Those birds of prey are difficult to snap - i have so many rubbish pictures of red kites!
ReplyDeleteLovely that you are discovering so many new places too.
Keep thinking there can't be many local places we haven't been to, but Ron continues to find them - and the sunshine! Also keep thinking this whole, huge, area can't get any more beautiful, but it does!! Many thanks, Alison.
