EUROPE - Part II


Day 4
We went from the Swiss Alps to the French Alps in one night. They were incredibly different but both equally amazing. We stayed in a small ski town called Autrans. When we arrived late at night it was like a ghost town. We were convinced that no one actually lived there. But the next morning when we headed out for breakfast we were surprised with how alive it was. People were heading up to the slopes (though where they found snow, I’m not so sure), people were walking their dogs, people were buying bread for the day. It was such a relaxed atmosphere, I loved it! We had a lot of fun exploring the shops in Autrans, they were authentic rather than touristy. I’m pretty sure some of the best items we brought home were from this adorable town. Also, they had some of the best hot chocolate. And we tried a lot of amazing hot chocolate from a lot of different places…






 Some of the beautiful things we saw:




Icicles covering the mountain side.



 The water is pouring out one spout, and the next, it’s frozen.



























The river flowing next to road is crystal clear.



 The road goes through a small hole cut into the mountain.






France is gorgeous! And this is just the beginning.
