UNTRACKED. Jeanne Toinon. Roots & Flow.
Two years ago,
@jeanne_toinon cycled across France in search of its most remarkable trees. Roots & Rides, a slow, quietly radical road trip, letting nature set the pace.
This time, she packed a bike and a raft and followed the Allier, one of Western Europe’s last wild rivers. Freely meandering, the Allier moves on its own terms, flooding its banks, carving new paths, taking its time.
Load up, move, find water, find camp, cook, sleep under open sky. Gorges, riverbanks, birdsong, village church bells in the distance. The same gestures, over and over, and yet not one day resembled the last.
Never quite on land, never quite on water. Always in between, always adapting. 30 days of figuring out what you’re made of when the only plan is the river ahead.
She just came back tired, full, knowing her edges, learning her pace, coming back with less, and somehow more.
