Briançon
... along the way. We decided to find a sunny spot to enjoy a café and headed back towards the sunny side of the ramparts. Anoop was busy taking photos and somewhere in there he missed* our signalling that we were heading right. We got to the café, ordered and went to the washroom and he still hadn’t showed up.
