Flew into Lyon and took a bus to Briancon. One of the most beautiful places on the face of the earth -- a fortress city in the mountains... 1000-year-old mountaintop churches full of priceless art... hand-made lace in every window... wonderful French bread and wine... the narrow and steep streets and sidewalks one might expect.... Off the beaten path, but well worth the effort to get there. Be sure to take a 21 or 24, if you have one. Rent one? It would be a good way to capture the crowded and vertical quality of the city and the expansiveness of the mountain terrain. Have a great trip.
