After yet another enjoyable and casual breakfast it was time for some exploring. We jumped into the cars following Luc and Myriam up and down the winding mountain roads which are known as lacets, which translates into the roads resembling the shape of shoe laces. Our first destination was Prapoutel which is a ski station clearly visible from Luc and Myriams terrace. Amazingly the locals consider this a very small station, in Australia we would call it a world class resort with on piste accommodation and a range of slopes catering to all abilities. How a little isolation can affect the view of a situation? A little while later we were again in fits of laughter with Luc relating skiing stories and demonstrating some of Myriams finer moments on the slopes. In the cars again, we travelled to Le Collet d’Allevard through postcard perfect towns and over some great driving roads. The weather was closing in now but the view over the mountains was still fantastic as was the fact that we were standing in a resort which had been part of a winter Olympics calendar.
Now I know our dear readers may be getting bored with the following statement but “again we have had a fantastic day” exploring new places and watching the boys run wild in these great surrounding, which they apparently cannot get enough of.
