Exploring on the MTB

Saint-Antoine l'Abbaye

Up the infamous climb from Sechilliane to Luitel: Tiny, very steep roads!

Quaix
Zoe has been going up to Quaix with school for field trips -- they have been doing hikes, nature discovery and today she brought home a chausson pommes that she had baked in a wood fired oven. Excellent!
