\nFor Bernadette, it will be hundreds of Dauphinoise roofs with the added bonus of the Morestel town hall, but is it still Dauphinoise roofing? I don’t know, at least it’s an extraordinary frame.

Pour Jacline, un grand salut et nos remerciements encore une fois pour ta plaisante visite. Nous n\u2019avons pas pu nous rappeler depuis combien d\u2019ann\u00e9es nous nous \u00e9tions perdues de vue, dans les quatre d\u00e9cennies c\u2019est une bonne \u00e9valuation.

\nFor Jacline, a big greeting and our thanks once again for your pleasant visit. We couldn’t remember how many years we had lost track of each other, in the four decades that’s a good estimate. Jacline is a beautiful person whom we are happy to have found again.\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Pour en revenir \u00e0 seulement nos deux petites personnes, eh bien c\u2019est la premi\u00e8re fois sans doute que Paul et moi louons un g\u00eete au mois de d\u00e9cembre. Paul a trouv\u00e9 notre logement entre Laragne-Mont\u00e9glin et Sisteron, \u00e0 la limite des d\u00e9partements des Alpes-de-Haute-Provence et des Hautes-Alpes.<\/strong>
\nComing back to just our two little people, well this is probably the first time that Paul and I have rented a lodging in December. Paul found our accommodation between Laragne-Mont\u00e9glin and Sisteron, on the border between the departments of Alpes-de-Haute-Provence and Hautes-Alpes.

Voyage dans un pays blanc puisque la neige tomb\u00e9e le 28 novembre est toujours l\u00e0 le jour de notre d\u00e9part, 1er d\u00e9cembre. Un \u00e9tonnant congr\u00e8s d\u2019oiseaux avant de descendre sur Voiron (j\u2019en compte quatre-vingts par ligne\u00a0!).
\nTravel in a white country since the snow that fell on November 28 was still there the day we left, December 1. An astonishing bird congress before descending on Voiron (I count eighty per line!).\"\"<\/a>

\n\u00a0L\u2019\u00e9paisseur de neige diminue apr\u00e8s le passage du col de la Croix Haute. Aussi nous d\u00e9cidons d\u2019une halte quand nous d\u00e9couvrons par hasard un panneau signalant \u00ab\u00a0les marmites du Diable\u00a0\u00bb.<\/strong>
\nThe snow depth decreases after crossing the Col de la Croix Haute. So we decide to stop when we come across a sign saying \u00ab\u00a0les marmites du Diable\u00a0\u00bb \u00ab\u00a0Devil’s pots\u00a0\u00bb.

C\u2019est une tr\u00e8s jolie balade en effet. Je commence \u00e0 trouver de la glace un peu partout. Arriv\u00e9s aux fameuses \u00ab\u00a0marmites\u00a0\u00bb, nous avons quelques difficult\u00e9s, le sol est glissant, il n\u2019y a pas de prise pour les mains, nous devons faire tr\u00e8s attention\u00a0: nous ne tardons pas \u00e0 faire demi-tour.<\/strong>
\nIt\u2019s a very pretty ride indeed. I’m starting to find ice all over the place. When we get to the famous \u00ab\u00a0pots\u00a0\u00bb, we have some difficulties, the ground is slippery, there is no grip for the hands, we have to be very careful: it will not take long for us to turn around.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

En soir\u00e9e, nous d\u00e9couvrons plus d\u2019infos sur cette balade,<\/strong><\/a>
\n\u00ab\u00a0Une randonn\u00e9e courte mais tr\u00e8s technique dans un cadre spectaculaire (\u2026). Tr\u00e8s difficile (\u2026). R\u00e9serv\u00e9 aux bons randonneurs (\u2026). Dalles glissantes, pentes raides, marches hautes.<\/strong><\/em>
\n A faire par beau temps!!\u00a0\u00bb<\/strong><\/em>
\nIn the evening, we find out more about this walk,<\/strong><\/span><\/a>
\n\u00ab\u00a0A short but very technical hike in a spectacular setting (\u2026). Very difficult (\u2026). Reserved for good hikers (\u2026). Slippery paving stones, steep slopes, high steps.<\/strong><\/span><\/em>

\nUn peu plus tard, nous explorons le tr\u00e8s joli vallon d\u2019Agnielles avec des gorges \u00e9troites et la for\u00eat domaniale de Durbon. En voiture cette fois car il pleut\u00a0! Des blocs tombent r\u00e9guli\u00e8rement sur la chauss\u00e9e. Il faut d\u2019ailleurs nous arr\u00eater pour d\u00e9gager le passage.<\/strong>
\nA little later, we explore the very pretty valley of Agnielles with narrow canyon and the national forest of Durbon. By car this time because it’s raining! Blocks regularly fall on the road. We have to stop to get out of the way.

Le jeudi matin est froid et brumeux, mais le soleil finit par percer. Quelques emplettes en ville, de la nourriture et des bouquins m\u00eame si nous en avons d\u00e9j\u00e0 un bon stock. Aujourd\u2019hui, nous allons dans les gorges de la M\u00e9ouge, un affluent de la Durance. Vue sur Mison.<\/strong>
\nThursday morning is cold and foggy, but the sun is finally breaking through. Some shopping in town, food and books even if we already have a good stock. Today we are going to the canyon of the M\u00e9ouge, a tributary of the Durance. View on Mison.

Le pont roman est le plus souvent appel\u00e9 \u00ab\u00a0pont romain\u00a0\u00bb. Ce n\u2019est pas une illusion d\u2019optique, il monte r\u00e9ellement\u00a0!
\nThe Romanesque bridge (from the Romanesque period between the 11th and 12th centuries) is most often called the \u00ab\u00a0Roman bridge\u00a0\u00bb (period of ancient Rome between 27 BC and 476 AD). This is not an optical illusion, it actually goes up!
\n\"\"<\/a>
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

A bridge that defies time<\/strong><\/span>
\nIt is too often said to be Roman. In reality, this bridge probably dates from the 14th or 15th century. It is therefore Romanesque. Patinated by time and perfectly integrated into the landscape, it has withstood at all the terrible assaults of the torrent for several centuries and in particular the flood of 1901, which destroyed all the other bridges over the M\u00e9ouge. Every evening, the sight of its illuminations merits a look.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\nUn panneau attire mon regard, je remercie le zoom de mon Canon, quand je peux lire cette notation \u00e9trange et \u00e9mouvante\u00a0:<\/strong>
\n\u00ab\u00a0Barrage construit par Giuliano Dino et sa femme Lisa en 1958.\u00a0\u00bb<\/strong>
\nA sign catches my eye, I thank the zoom of my Canon, when I can read this strange and moving notation: \u00ab\u00a0Dam built by Giuliano Dino and his wife Lisa in 1958.\u00a0\u00bb<\/span>

\nJe remercie mon zoom encore une fois quand je cherche dans la montagne le trac\u00e9 de la randonn\u00e9e que nous ne suivrons jamais\u00a0: il est annonc\u00e9 comme dangereux, vertigineux. Il traverse ce long \u00e9boulis qui d\u00e9vale vers le cours d\u2019eau. <\/strong>
\nI thank my zoom once again when I look in the mountain for the route of the hike that we will never follow: it is announced as dangerous, vertiginous. It crosses this long scree which descends towards the stream.

Bizarrement un sentier semble monter \u00e0 l\u2019assaut de cette coul\u00e9e alors que, plus haut, le passage est solidement s\u00e9curis\u00e9 par de grosses poutres, plac\u00e9es l\u00e0 pour ne pas d\u00e9gringoler dans l\u2019\u00e9boulis.<\/strong>
\nStrangely enough, a path seems to climb up against this scree while, higher up, the passage is securely secured by large beams, placed there so as not to tumble into the scree.

Le vendredi nous montons \u00e0 l\u2019assaut de la montagne de Chabre, sous un soleil bien appr\u00e9ci\u00e9. Paul a trouv\u00e9 un versant bien expos\u00e9, le paysage s\u2019agrandit \u00e0 mesure que nous montons. Nous passons devant une petite centrale hydro\u00e9lectrique, puis nous suivons les ruisseaux qui l\u2019alimentent.<\/strong>
\nOn Friday we go up to the Chabre mountain, under a much appreciated sun. Paul found a well exposed slope, the landscape widens as we go up. We pass a small hydroelectric power station, then we follow the streams that feed it.

Le samedi, c\u2019est le jour le plus froid et pluvieux de tout notre s\u00e9jour. Nous attendons que la pluie se calme et prenons la route vers la prochaine balade. Mais je remarque vite des petits paquets de neige sur le bord de la route. Plus haut, les roues se mettent \u00e0 patiner. D\u00e8s que c\u2019est possible, je gare la voiture, tourn\u00e9e vers la pente et le retour.<\/strong>
\nSaturday was the coldest and rainiest day of our trip. We wait for the rain to calm down and take the road to the next ride. But I quickly noticed small snow packs on the side of the road. Higher up, the wheels start to spin. As soon as possible, I park the car, facing the slope and back.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

La balade sera courte, Paul sous un parapluie, moi sous un large poncho\u00a0: nos bonnes chaussures de marche ne tiennent pas sur le verglas et il faut assurer chaque pas.<\/strong>
\nThe walk will be short, Paul under an umbrella, me under a large poncho: our good walking shoes do not hold on the ice and we must ensure every step.

Nous passons parmi les vergers\u00a0: j\u2019ignorais que la r\u00e9gion produit des pommes en grande quantit\u00e9. C\u2019est une production industrielle avec des arbres laids, taill\u00e9s vers le bas, align\u00e9s sous les immenses rideaux qui les prot\u00e8gent des oiseaux \u00e0 la belle saison. Les pommes qui ne sont pas au gabarit sont abandonn\u00e9es, je peux vous dire qu\u2019il y en a un paquet\u00a0! Paul pense imm\u00e9diatement qu\u2019il faudrait les r\u00e9colter pour en faire de la compote. Il y aurait une meilleure plus-value en vendant un produit \u00e9labor\u00e9s – \u00e0 quel prix se vend le kilo de pommes dans la r\u00e9gion\u00a0? Je tente de photographier les belles recouvertes d\u2019une bonne \u00e9paisseur de glace.<\/strong>
\nWe pass among the orchards: I did not know that the region produces apples in large quantities. It is an industrial production with ugly trees, pruned downwards, lined up under the huge curtains that protect them from birds in summer. Apples that are not in the template are abandoned, I can tell you there is a bunch of them! Paul immediately thinks they should be harvested and made into compote. There would be better added value by selling an elaborate product – at what price is a kilo of apples sold in the region? I try to photograph the beauties covered with a good thickness of ice.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span>
\nJe tente aussi de photographier les rameaux dans leur gangue de glace.<\/strong>
\n I also try to photograph the twigs in their matrix of ice.

J\u2019esp\u00e8re ne pas vous avoir donn\u00e9 le frisson (je pense au froid, pas au vertige). Je vous retrouve un jour, dans une semaine, ou deux, allez savoir\u00a0! Si Dieu existe, Lui-m\u00eame le sait-Il seulement\u00a0?<\/strong>
\nI hope I haven’t given you the chills (I’m thinking of the cold, not the dizziness). I’ll meet you one day, in a week, or two, who knows! If God exists, does He even know it Himself?<\/span>
