Editor’s note: In this, part two of her series on walking Le Chemin de St. Jacques in France, Danny Bernstein travels the second half of her month-long journey along one of France’s national trails. If you missed the first story, you can find it here. On this second leg, fall is firmly setting in, painting its colors along the countryside.
I’ve been walking on Le Chemin de St. Jacques in France for about two weeks. So far I’ve covered 204 miles, with another 236 miles to reach the Spanish border.

Sunflowers are drying on their stalks, ready to be harvested and turned into cooking oil. Sorghum and tobacco pepper the landscape. Other fields are freshly plowed, awaiting new crops. Fruit orchards and gardens
