Higher Ground
The next part of the
journey was on the motorway heading west, until we turned off through
the San Bernardo valley, towards the San Bernardo pass, to get to Etroubles. This small town of 550
inhabitants is a little gem, nestling in a valley surrounded by mountains. There are many walking opportunities of
varying lengths and degrees of difficulty and we had a short stroll
beside the river, with the sound of cow bells overlaying the noise of
the rushing water.
Walking around the
narrow, hilly streets, with floral displays everywhere you looked,
was idyllic.
Yet in contrast to the rustic appearance of the town,, there were all the necessary modern conveniences of everyday life, often incorporated within the old buildings. For
additional interest there is a permanent exhibition of art
installations dotted around the town.
Almost forgot to mention the site; Camping Tunnel, another recommendation from a contributor to MMM, What would we do without them?
