Bardonecchia

Today we drove to Bardonecchia for lunch after a quick stop in Briancon.

Kenji, Zoe and I took the cool way, via La Vachette and the Col de l'Echelle, while Chloe, Zoe and my mom took the lame way via the col de Montgenevre. Laaaaame. Lunch, however was not lame. Along the way, I saw a child's car parked in a real car space


Because our route was so much more beautiful and direct (heh he) we arrived earlier than the others, and took the opportunity to go to the fantastic pastry shop across the street called "Ugetti Franco". We bought petits fours as well as enough apricot, raspberry, blueberry and strawberry tarts for the entire clan.


Shortly afterwards, we went to the restaurant(Etable). They did not have the Pesto to End all Pestos, which made us sad, but they did have plenty of other delicious and interesting things.








A lovely meal! I'm sure we will be back some time soon. On the way back, Kenji and I watched with amusement as they drove an immense timber truck through one of the tiny toens in between Nevache and Briancon. It looked like there was about two inches left on either side of it.
