Sunday June 10, 2012... Peronne - Pont l'Eveque. 55 km

We left Peronne in the sun and had a gently rolling route down the Somme following the Canal du Nord towards Paris. The path beside the canal was bumpy.

We passed the Elodie a couple of times

Lunch was in Nesle. Often we bought something at a patisserie or boulangerie and then took it to the local café to have a drink (coffee, beer, or wine) with it.

On the road again, we visited a German war cemetery of 1242 soldiers, all of whom died in July 1916. They were plain graves with no flowers. Officers were not buried double as were lower ranks.

Again, the German Jewish soldier's grave is marked with a tablet, not a cross.
