Off to the real Alps ...

We set off at about 9 am yesterday, and arrived at our destination at 5 pm - fairly quiet roads and an easy drive. The little French Alpine village of Cordon is high above the valley floor, and about 20 miles from Chamonix.  We have stayed there before - it has splendid views of mont Blanc.

Perhaps it is best that Barga to leave on a dull morning! - good driving conditions...

  2. you've inspired us to to take the Mont Blanc route next week, including the stopover in Le Cordonant, and hope to be rewarded by the same view you were blessed with...
