Hiking in the Vercors

We had a relaxing week in France, taking advantage of Dorien's mid term break. Paula couldn't join us as her university program is (still) not aligned with the schools in The Hague. It was all quite uneventful; we worked in the garden, did some cycling and hiking in our valley, and just enjoyed being in our village. We made one trip to Grenoble for some shopping, and combined this with a hike in the Vercors. This is the limestone mountain range south of Grenoble, with spectacular cliffs that are visible from far. Although it is quite close this was the first time we explored this area, and certainly not the last. We hiked up to the top of one of the cliffs, with beautiful views across the Grenoble valley.
At the end of the week we left the house ready for the summer, and returned to The Hague, back to Paula and Beau.
