Winter Update
It has been a decent winter so far. Perhaps that is why we found ourselves engaged in more outdoor activities this season than ever before.
We visited some of the well-known coastal towns of Côte d'Azur on our trusty hybrids. We explored Haute Savoie and le Jura on foot and on skis. Alas! We have yet to follow in the glides of our friends and give cross-country skiing a try. There will always be a next season.
