The Soul of the Verdon
As the cool spring air still blows over the Alpes-Maritimes, my friend Guillaume and I set out on a multi-day initiatory journey, in search of the soul of the Verdon. The seasonal cold and rain will not dampen our pleasure in discovering these sometimes desert-like landscapes, following in the footsteps of Jean Giono.

Grasse - Gréolières
| 2024-04-28
We leave early in the morning from Grasse, where we met up the night before in a tiny Airbnb barely large enough for our big frames. The weather is gloomy without being unpleasant, though we would have liked to enjoy the sea view, instead of enduring a thick, persistent fog. It is only after a good climb, on the heights of the city, that the blue sky reveals itself.
