The half way point
... some significant wealth at some point as there are a large number of very old big ritzy residences. We are staying in one that has been converted into a hotel. Barcelonnette is well off the beaten track so it's history must be a little obscure. Tomorrow we go over the Alps into Italy and spend two days at Portofino.

Day 4
We awoke this morning in Gap to sunshine. It felt quite cool when I did my post-breakfast walk outside, so we all dressed for slightly chilly weather. Tom led us about a km down the street to get us started in the right direction, then he and Henry headed off to do today's alternate route which was completely different than the nominal one.
