Les Houches to Troyes ...

We woke this morning to find snow had fallen during the night turning all the nearby trees to white, as well as the roofs of the village of Les Houches on the opposite side of the valley.

The roads were dry all day though, but it was pretty cold - just reaching 9°C briefly at one point.

Our satnav took us to our hotel without hitch.  Troyes, in the north centre of France, we found to be a rather amazing town, with an ancient historic centre of many half-timbered buildings from the 15th century.

last year.  This time, 3 weeks later, they had all flowered and gone!
