Cycle to Notre Dame du Pre.
It is cold and cloudy when we wake, so we spend time deciding what to do. Cycling is the choice finally and we climb on the bikes and without pedalling, whizz down 800 metres to the town below, Aime, and directly start to climb up the opposite side of the valley on a quiet road to Notre Dame du Pre. Further up there is a climbing area with a small camp site, and buvette in the woods at 1550 metres. Some of the roads are winding through beautiful open meadow with coiled bales standing on impossible slopes.
