In the foothills of the Jura Mountains...

It's not quite Julie Andrews time yet, but today I crossed the majestic Saone and there is a definite change in the air; am now in the foothills of the Jura, a steady ascent ahead now for the next 15 days. I am very excited at the prospect as the Via Francigena takes on added personality and more adventures lie ahead. Besancon by Saturday!

Crossing the Saone at Gray.
