Our last big outing was to the lake Bouillouse which is a registered natural site, known throughout France and Spain for its rugged landscape and many lakes. At an altitude of 2,000m, the mountain lake is the highest lake accessible by road and chairlift in the whole mountain range. Below is the map of our […]Read Post ›
After a very atmospheric last post the sun came back out to greet and accompany us on further travels. We did a short trip from Les Angles to another nearby ski station and village “Font Romeu” where our friends were staying.

I’m happy to be out of the crowded suffocating town center that is melting in 35* degrees at the moment. It’s nice and cool here in the mountains. Around […]Read Post ›
France is in a reflective period. Reflecting on health issues and a sudden rise in numbers of Covid patients in the last week or so. The second wave? Remains to be seen… For now though, masks have become mandatory in all close spaces. Whoever disobeys or simply doesn’t have one, a fine of 135 euros […]Read Post ›
