June 3 – Amettes to Bruay le Bussiere 23 km

This part of the country produces 80% of the world’s linen. The plants bloom a dark blue flower that is just starting to appear

This used to be coal country and some of the mining residue is piled in mounds that litter the landscape

We’ve been walking along this path covered with white puff balls from some sort of puff ball tree that we haven’t been able to Identify but I want our driveway paved with it

Bruay le B is the first urban setting in a week want to get back to the country
