Waypoint introductions and full write-ups
1. Photo stop near Sergines
Sergines is a quiet village in the north of the Yonne department, on the chalk plateau between the Seine and the Yonne, roughly where Burgundy shades into Champagne. The landscape is wide and open, with huge fields of wheat, barley, sugar beet and rapeseed stretching to the horizon, broken only by clumps of trees, church spires and the occasional water tower.

3. Back to Loire Castle Edge
A modest town on the little river Thérain, in the Oise département, Mouy lies about fifty kilometres north of Paris, among the low chalk hills and wooded ridges of the Picardy edge. The landscape is quiet: wheat fields, hedgerows, woodland and neat red-roofed villages, with the occasional church spire poking up on the skyline. It does not shout about itself, and there is something restful in that after the big roads of the capital.
