Vassieux-en-Vercors

We parked at the Museum to the Resistance which was not easy. The village was preparing itself for the Fete du Bleu, a fayre for the blue cheese from that region, and the streets were closed.

The col above the village is fairly steep but it was once again the heat that held us back. At the top is the Memorial to the Resistance. We didn't go in as there was a charge!

We followed the ridge to Col de la Machine, had another jus stop before dropping back down to the museum to look at more black and white photos of chaps in vests and berets with fusilles slung across their shoulders.

Last evening we ate at an auberge at Choranche. The food was good and the views across the gorge tremendous.

A walk up into the village again this morning was very pleasant. There was no-one around and I wandered about the place like a tourist.
