Briançon
... be there on the day that there was a parade through town; we weren’t quite clear what they were celebrating, but it was fun to see them all in costume. We enjoyed walking around the ramparts and seeing all the defensive walls below. We walked the entire way around the town and climbed up fairly high for a good view below. We could also see the other fortresses nearby on the various hillsides. We then wandered through the centre of town, ...

This is the only one of the ...
Croix de Fer
... up and luckily there was lots of space for both vans to pull over for some photos. There was also a herd of goats just down the hill and Anoop popped down to take some pics of them.

We arrived in Le Bourg d’Oisans in the early afternoon which gave us lots of time to set up ...
