Beautiful scenery of the Ecrins National Park, a treat.
We were lucky enough to spot several marmots.
What a joy.

According to the weather forecast, it's the last day of good weather this week, so I took full advantage of it. Today I left Bourg d'Oisans to reach Aiguilles in Queyras. I stopped at the Col du Lautaret to do this magnificent hike... it was nice and clear, and the views were truly sumptuous. Another memorable day!
