\"\"<\/a>En arrivant \u00e0 Beaufort, nous mesurons combien c\u2019est important de partir de chez soi, et de s\u2019asseoir \u00e0 une terrasse de caf\u00e9. De fl\u00e2ner sans but ou presque. De redevenir touristes, promeneurs, badauds et m\u00eame peut-\u00eatre marcheurs\u00a0! De changer d\u2019horizon\u00a0! Pourtant, nos conditions de confinement n\u2019\u00e9taient pas les pires\u2026 <\/strong>
\nArriving in Beaufort, we realize how important it is to leave home, and sit down at a caf\u00e9 terrace. To stroll aimlessly or almost. To become tourists, walkers, onlookers and perhaps even walkers again! To change the horizon! Yet our confinement conditions were not the worst …\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Ce doit \u00eatre notre troisi\u00e8me s\u00e9jour dans la r\u00e9gion, il y a tellement longtemps que nous ne sommes pas venus\u00a0! Apr\u00e8s avoir retrouv\u00e9 nos rep\u00e8res, arpent\u00e9 la petite ville, fait une halte au caf\u00e9 et constitu\u00e9 un joli stock de beaufort, nous reprenons la route.<\/strong>
\nThis must be our third visit of the region, it has been such a long time since we have been here! After having found our bearings, surveyed the small town, stopped at the caf\u00e9 and buying a nice stock of Beaufort, we hit the road again.<\/strong><\/span>
\n<\/strong>
\n\"\"<\/a>Nous montons vers les Saisies\u00a0: nous traversons cette station vaste, inanim\u00e9e, d\u00e9serte, triste dans sa laideur et sous les nuages\u2026 Nous nous arr\u00eatons pour pique-niquer mais j\u2019aurais mieux fait de ne pas remarquer la balade possible vers le sentier de d\u00e9couverte (NOTE \u00ab\u00a0covetan\u00a0\u00bb veut dire \u00ab\u00a0cuvette\u00a0\u00bb en patois, ou encore \u00ab\u00a0creux\u00a0\u00bb ou \u00ab\u00a0entonnoir\u00a0\u00bb).<\/em> En effet, le chemin sur pilotis est glissant comme du verglas, m\u00eame pour nos chaussures de montagne. D\u2019une chose \u00e0 l\u2019autre nous marchons \u00e0 c\u00f4t\u00e9, si le sol n\u2019est pas trop d\u00e9tremp\u00e9, alors que c\u2019est interdit pour ne pas abimer la flore. Paul fait une belle chute, sans se blesser heureusement, quant \u00e0 moi j\u2019y \u00e9chappe de peu \u00e0 plusieurs reprises. Une fois presque sortis d\u2019affaire, revenus sur un chemin herbeux et non en bois glissant, voil\u00e0 la pluie qui s\u2019y met. <\/strong>
\nWe go up to Les Saisies: we cross this vast station, inanimate, deserted, sad in its ugliness and under the clouds … We stop for a picnic but I would have done better not to notice the possible walk towards the discovery trail (NOTE \u00ab\u00a0covetan\u00a0\u00bb means \u00ab\u00a0bowl\u00a0\u00bb in patois, or \u00ab\u00a0hollow\u00a0\u00bb or \u00ab\u00a0funnel\u00a0\u00bb)<\/em>. Indeed, the path on stilts is slippery like ice, even for our mountain boots. From one thing to another we walk at the side of the path, if the ground is not too wet, then it is forbidden so as not to damage the flora. Paul had a nice fall, luckily without hurting himself, and I narrowly escaped it on several occasions. Once almost out of the woods, back on a grassy path and not in slippery wood, the rain sets in.\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Un tout petit \u00e9tang grouille de t\u00eatards qui n\u2019arrivent pas \u00e0 s\u2019\u00e9loigner du bord (mais pourquoi\u00a0?) pour aller vers des zones moins peupl\u00e9es.<\/strong>
\nA tiny pond is teeming with tadpoles that can’t get away from the edge (but why?) into less populated areas.\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span>
\n
\nLa planche de tous les dangers.<\/strong>
\nThe board of all dangers.\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Nous reprenons la route jusqu\u2019\u00e0 Flumet\u00a0: nous y d\u00e9couvrons un caf\u00e9 fort sympathique\u2026 o\u00f9 nous r\u00e9servons une table pour demain \u00e0 midi, avant de nous acheminer tout pr\u00e8s de l\u00e0 jusqu\u2019\u00e0 notre g\u00eete. <\/strong>
\nWe take the road back to Flumet: there we find a very nice cafe … where we reserve a table for tomorrow at noon, before heading very close to our lodge.\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Bernadette nous fait d\u00e9couvrir les lieux qui nous enthousiasment. Alain a tout fait de ses mains, Paul lui posera la question. Il y a du bois partout et des tas d\u2019id\u00e9es amusantes, ing\u00e9nieuses\u2026 Les radiateurs d\u00e9gagent une douce chaleur, bien n\u00e9cessaire en ce mois de juin! Nous voil\u00e0 chez nous, install\u00e9s comme des princes\u00a0!<\/strong>
\nBernadette makes us discover the places that inspire us. Alain did everything with his hands, Paul will ask him the question. There is wood everywhere and lots of fun, ingenious ideas … The radiators give off a gentle heat, much needed in this month of June! Here we are at home, installed like princes!\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Le 3 juin, nous partons pour notre premi\u00e8re vraie balade en laissant la voiture \u00e0 Chaucisse pour nous rendre aux Aveni\u00e8res. Il y a donc plusieurs \u00ab\u00a0Aveni\u00e8res\u00a0\u00bb, c\u2019est bien moins peupl\u00e9 c\u00f4t\u00e9 Savoie o\u00f9 ce sont des prairies. Je reconnais les tussilages que l\u2019on peut confondre avec les pissenlits quand ils fleurissent. Mais les feuilles de cette plante n\u2019apparaissent qu\u2019apr\u00e8s la fleur. Et comme nous montons dans la montagne, nous remontons aussi le temps, nous trouvons les feuilles, puis les fleurs\u2026<\/strong>
\nOn June 3, we leave for our first real walk, leaving the car in Chaucisse to go to Les Aveni\u00e8res. There are therefore several \u00ab\u00a0Aveni\u00e8res\u00a0\u00bb, it is much less populated on the Savoy side where they are meadows. I recognize coltsfoot which can be confused with dandelions when they bloom. But the leaves of this plant do not appear until after the flower. And as we go up the mountain, we also go back in time, we find the leaves, then the flowers …\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

La neige \u00e9tait l\u00e0 r\u00e9cemment, les arbres couch\u00e9s parlent d\u2019avalanches, mais ont-elles eu lieu cette ann\u00e9e\u00a0? Il reste un petit n\u00e9v\u00e9 cach\u00e9 dans la ravine, il n\u2019en a plus pour longtemps.<\/strong>
\nThe snow was there recently, the fallen trees speak of avalanches, but did they happen this year? There is still a small snowfield hidden in the ravine, it won’t be long.\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Nous nous perdons en montant, car le chemin a disparu, et il nous faut le chercher un moment. Quand nous redescendons, nous retrouvons l\u2019endroit o\u00f9 nous nous sommes perdus, mais ce n\u2019est pas vraiment de notre faute, en traversant la prairie le sentier dispara\u00eet.<\/strong>
\nWe get lost on the way up, because the path has disappeared, and we have to look for it for a while. When we come back down we find the place where we got lost, but it’s not really our fault, crossing the meadow the path disappears.\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Apr\u00e8s un excellent repas \u00e0 \u00ab\u00a0la Resto\u00a0\u00bb et un moment de farniente dans notre merveilleux g\u00eete, nous montons au col des Aravis mais en voiture, pas en v\u00e9lo ou \u00e0 pied ni en moto comme d\u2019autres font. Je reconnais La Giettaz, avec le panneau de direction vers le hameau \u00ab\u00a0le Plan\u00a0\u00bb, o\u00f9 je ne suis jamais venue mais une amie qui m\u2019est ch\u00e8re y a v\u00e9cu.<\/strong>
\nAfter an excellent meal at \u00ab\u00a0la Resto\u00a0\u00bb and a moment of idleness in our wonderful g\u00eete, we climb to the Col des Aravis but by car, not by bike or on foot or by motorbike as others do. I recognize La Giettaz, with the direction sign towards the hamlet \u00ab\u00a0le Plan\u00a0\u00bb, where I have never been, but a dear friend of mine once lived there.\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Nous suivons un sentier une fois gar\u00e9s au col. Il y a beaucoup de monde. Qui va ou qui revient. Des v\u00e9los descendent le sentier, les premiers \u00e0 toute vitesse\u00a0: ils devraient faire attention de ne pas se casser l\u2019omoplate ou autre chose, un accident est si vite arriv\u00e9\u00a0!<\/strong>
\nWe follow a path once parked at the pass. There are a lot of people. Who is going or who is coming back. Bicycles descend the trail, the first at full speed: they should be careful not to break the shoulder blade or something, an accident happens so quickly!\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Dernier tout petit incident qui m\u2019a bien fait rire\u00a0: une voiture charg\u00e9e de v\u00e9los se gare, un homme les prend, en donne un \u00e0 la fille qui est \u00e0 son c\u00f4t\u00e9 et enfourche l\u2019autre. La troisi\u00e8me personne court avec son appareil photo. Les deux cyclistes prennent la descente, font demi-tour et arrivent au niveau de la femme qui les photographie et leur dit de recommencer mais avec le sourire. Ils recommencent, et nous nous repartons sans tricher, sans faire semblant, dans la voiture\u2026<\/strong>
\nLast tiny incident that made me laugh: a car loaded with bicycles pulls up, a man picks them up, gives one to the girl next to him and gets on the other. The third person runs with her camera. The two cyclists take the descent, turn around and arrive at the level of the woman who photographs them and tells them to start again but with a smile. They start again, and we leave without cheating, without pretending, in the car …\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

L\u2019animation au col des Aravis, ici comme partout ailleurs, est sans doute d\u2019autant plus intense qu\u2019on sort de p\u00e9riodes difficiles. Chacun reprend les activit\u00e9s \u00ab\u00a0d\u2019avant\u00a0\u00bb \u00e0 peu pr\u00e8s comme cela se passait \u00ab\u00a0avant\u00a0\u00bb. D\u2019ailleurs, Alain et Bernadette nous diront que le g\u00eete est encore r\u00e9serv\u00e9 le jour de notre d\u00e9part. Il y a une grande h\u00e2te \u00e0 (re)vivre. <\/strong>
\nThe animation at the Col des Aravis, here as everywhere else, is undoubtedly all the more intense when one comes out of difficult times. Everyone resumes \u00ab\u00a0before\u00a0\u00bb activities much like they did \u00ab\u00a0before\u00a0\u00bb. Moreover, Alain and Bernadette will tell us that the g\u00eete is still reserved on the day of our departure. There is a great hurry to (re)live.\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Pendant cet interminable hiver, coinc\u00e9s par le froid, le confinement et mon \u00e9paule, nous avons eu des moments tr\u00e8s difficiles.<\/strong>
\nDuring this interminable winter, stuck by the cold, the confinement and my shoulder, we had very difficult times.\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Nous avons tant march\u00e9 par procuration en regardant les PaJu ou d\u2019autres \u00e9missions\u00a0: ailleurs nous manquait tellement. Nous \u00e9tions pleins d\u2019envie en regardant de nouveaux paysages si beaux, si beaux\u00a0! Mais nous ne pouvions que les voir, sans ressentir la lassitude, ni l\u2019effleurement du vent ou du soleil sur notre peau, sans entendre les cris d\u2019oiseaux, sans humer les parfums port\u00e9s par le vent.<\/strong>
\nWe walked so much \u00ab\u00a0through another person\u00a0\u00bb<\/em> while watching PaJu or other shows: we missed so much elsewhere. We were full of envy watching new landscapes so beautiful, so beautiful! But we could only see them, without feeling the weariness, nor the touch of the wind or the sun on our skin, without hearing the birds screaming, without inhaling the scents carried by the wind.\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Alors, nous nous sommes content\u00e9s des itin\u00e9raires mille fois parcourus. De notre chez nous que nous connaissons par c\u0153ur, en attendant impatiemment l\u2019envol au loin.<\/strong>
\nSo we were satisfied with the routes traveled a thousand times. From our home that we know by heart, impatiently awaiting the flight away.\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Et voil\u00e0 qu\u2019enfin, de nouveaux paysages se r\u00e9v\u00e8lent au rythme de notre mont\u00e9e. Voil\u00e0 que la fatigue de nos mollets nous fait m\u00e9riter le lent d\u00e9ploiement du panorama. Je sais pourquoi j\u2019aime marcher quand j\u2019assiste \u00e0 ce lent mouvement, ou quand le sentier me fait de l\u2019\u0153il en disparaissant pour que j\u2019aille plus loin et encore plus loin.<\/strong>
\nAnd finally, new landscapes are revealed as we climb. Now the fatigue of our calves makes us deserve the slow unfolding of the panorama. I know why I like to walk when I witness this slow movement, or when the path catches my eye as it disappears so that I can go further and even further.\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Et encore plus loin \u2014 impression d\u2019infini.<\/strong>
\nAnd even further \u2014 feeling of infinity.\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Nous avons \u00e9t\u00e9 priv\u00e9s de choses simples, sans raison. Notre vie s\u2019est r\u00e9tr\u00e9cie, est devenue plus \u00e9triqu\u00e9e. <\/strong>
\nJe conteste toujours les modalit\u00e9s qui nous ont \u00e9t\u00e9 impos\u00e9es plus pour nous priver de libert\u00e9 que pour nous prot\u00e9ger.<\/strong>
\nWe have been deprived of simple things for no reason. Our life has shrunk, has become more narrow.<\/strong><\/span>
\nI always challenge the terms that have been imposed on us more to deny us our freedom than to protect us.\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Je pense qu\u2019il faut rester vigilants.<\/strong>
\nI think we have to be vigilant.\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
