Woke up to a rainy cloudy day, but it seemed to hold promise of improvement. After a breakfast of cheese and sausage it was off to find some decent coffee. Then a walk along the river with Mai and Fabien to the nearest town of Les Praz-de-Chamonix. An excellent brief lunch on the terrace of Le Castel, and then we took the lift up to La Flegere. We walked the Grand Balcon Sud trail, a brisk roughly 2 hr. Hike with fabulous views above the valley. We had to move right along because the last lift down from Le Brevent was at 5:00pm. As it turned out we had plenty of time, but better safe than sorry. Then to the Irish coffee place for a quick apero before heading back to the apartment.









Here is the rental apartment in Chamonix.

Very nice flat! You are cooking leeks? ? It is just really hard to beat the alps for stunning views, that part of the world seems to have a very soothing gravity. Funicular are a good way to move people, wish we had some.

Mai was craving vegetables, thus the leeks.

I sympathize! Being Summer, I’m sure there are fine fresh veggies at the market.
