From bell tower to bell tower in the heart of the Ardennes (hike 1) - Untiring walkers, Martin de Tours and Thibaut de Provins were both attracted by the life of a hermit. A simplicity of existence that they kept despite the responsibilities they later assumed in the Church. As the patron saints of many religious buildings, they continue to be the subject of pilgrimages, even today.
