In the river
So much to see... superb swimming spots along the rivers : simple pleasures that leave great memories! A water fight, observing the small fish, looking for heart-shaped pebbles, stacking stones and defying the laws of balance, letting yourself be lulled by the song of the birds that flutter around, telling stories about the dragonflies and why not make small dams?
