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.
