France - Day 4

After breakfast we walked from the hotel up to the Tourist Information office. We didn't get very much from there, though they did confirm that the Telecabin chairlift thing was running from 9-5 every day and was free.

We decided to take it up to the top of the slope and walk round the valley. It took us up to a height of 2349m.

From there we walked round and up to the ridge, and went to the top of Tête Mercière at 2491m.

There were some wartime lookout posts at the pass at the end of the valley.

We walked to the north side of the valley and to a set of lakes called Lacs de Terre Rouge.

As we walked down it clouded over, then we had a sudden downpour of rain and hailstones, so we sheltered for a bit.

It only lasted for about half an hour though, so we walked back to the apartment, via the supermarket for some more provisions.

Later we made chicken curry for dinner.
