| First my AirBNB host Marianne took me to a local market in nearby Chorge... |
 |
| View of La Durance |
 |
| (not a natural lake) |
 |
| Thats a white zucchini behind those Coeur de Boeuf tomatoes (fleshy, gigantic, yum). All of these made a really delicous beef stew to go with a mountain of polenta. |
 |
| Saved my riding for the evening... |
 |
| ...and found some French countryside...the southern Alps |
 |
| Subtly different to the Maurienne Valley (Rhone Alpes), the area around Gap is famed for 300 days of sunshine a year. Much of the region is devoted to fruit growing. |
 |
| Marianne agreed that the French like to repair rather than rebuild - they are sentimental about old buildings, old farm equipment |
