Every week we wonder whether we can still do a hike. As long as there is no rain (or snow in the mountains) and the sun shines, we can head out. And so we did today, to Chamrousse, a ski station we can see on a clear day from the streets of Grenoble. We took a bus up to St. Martin d'Uriage, a town at 700 meters. From there we headed up.

On the trail there was a shelter.

--a perfect place to picnic, but it was only 10:30am so we had a snack here
Lunch at the top with a view of Grenoble below
On our way down we stopped at the shelter for a water break and some warm sun on our faces since most of the trail was in the forest.
Back down at the bottom where we needed to catch the bus back to Grenoble, we had time to drop in at a café in St. Martin d'Uriage. It was a real treat because the café goes back to the 19th century.
The inside still had a 50's decor. We were the only clients.
The owner's kitchen was behind the bar and I didn't see a bathroom, so I asked. She said outside, second door on the right.

It was a turkish toilet, in mint condition!
