Derek and Ann’s Travels in France
June 2016.
We
have
been
to
France
many
times,
especially
camping
with
the
children
when
they
were
young.
In
June
though,
our
friends
from
Cradley,
John
Claude
and
Tricia
asked
us
if
we
would
like
to
spend
a
week
with
them
at
their
daughter’s
flat
in
the
French
Alps
at
St.
Jean
D’Alps
near
Morzine.
We
said
we
would
love
to
and
decided
to
make
it
slightly
longer
by
staying
with
Ann’s
relations
in
Nice.
We
had
a
lovely
few
days
in
Nice,
then
flew
to
Geneva
where we picked up a hired car to drive into the Alps.
We
were
so
lucky
with
the
weather
and
went
on
several
ski
lifts
to
walk
and
have
lunch
on
the
tops.
Our
highlight
was
to
go
on
the
chair
lift
to
Aiguille
du
Midi
(3842)
with
wonderful
views
of
Mont
Blanc
in
brilliant
sunshine.
A
few
months
later
we
read
of
how
one
of
the
chairs
was
stuck
and
people
were
in
them
most
of
the
night
and
eventually
rescued
by
helicopter – thank goodness that was not us.
We
enjoyed
our
break
with
our
friends
and
managed
to
drive
around
the
area
which
is
simply
beautiful.
We
were
also
there
during
the
last
few
days
of
the
BREXIT
referendum
on
the UK place in or out of Europe.
Unfortunately we left our camera in the hired car, so we do not have many photos to share.
