VIA FRANCIGENA | Day 26
Gézier-et-Fontenelay to Besançon, 25.7 km
I left the farmhouse early in the morning after a quick breakfast.
It was downhill for the better part of two hours, cutting through farms, cornfields, past wooden and stone fences, but never too far from the forest.
I walked up and down backcountry roads. More water fountains and albergues is always a welcoming sight
Imagine my reaction when I found my first yellow arrow. I saw more closed churches but open bars, and then it was on to Besancon three days ahead of schedule, and tomorrow is a rest day.
It took two hours to get to the city center, but I finally crossed the bridge, and it was on to the hotel which I had book thanks to Patric and Annabel’s donations.
The old too familiar beer and cold sparkling water break and dinner was different.
