Day 37 - Puy-St-Vincent - Cote de Azure

Picture taken from the comfort of our apartment. If you look closely you can see Andrew in the red ski jacket digging our car out from under the snow so we can pack and depart. It took at least 1.5 hours. Really heavy snow and icy roads on the way out. So sad to leave! Drving down from out station at the resort throuh lower stations of Puy Saint Vincent.
On our drive from the ski resort to Menton on the Cote de Azur we stopped at this lovely little town of Tallard for lunch. The town of Tallard is host to a leg of the Tour de France. Really lovely shops and houses right up to the side of the road. You can imagine the people hanging out the windows and lining the streets.

Lunch here was a foot long baguette filled with pork and hot chips!

Great viewing spot for bike race. Central location in the heart of town.

Pont de la Reine Jeane. Lovely little bridge from main highway over the the otherside of the gorge for a farmer to access his property. Entreveaux Fortress. Magnificent little town. It was just on dusk and they had the castle and remparts all lit up.
