Following my arrival in the Alps (see previous posts) I embarked upon a two-week trek along (most of) the Tour du Mont Blanc (TMB), one of the world’s classic hikes. Keep scrolling for a selection of photos but before you do, I did manage to squeeze in some cycling whilst passing through Paris on my way home. Yesterday evening, with a hiking colleague from the TMB group who had also made the correct decision to take the train home rather than fly, I cycled from my hotel down to the Eiffel Tower. This morning I set off again on a short Parisian odyssey on one of the Vélib’ eBikes taking in the Louvre, Champs Élysées, Arc de Triomphe, Seine (a bit bumpy of the cobbles!) and back to the Gare du Nord. Here’s a short video of the fun:
€4 for 90 minutes on a bike seems pretty good value to me. Recommended!
Back to the hiking. I’ll put together a film of the 180 km walk but in the meantime, here are a few photos from the trip, organised by Exodus Tours and lead by the excellent Shaun and Kieran.
