We had plumbers doing work on the main sewer line in our building. With our toilet being out of service the whole day, we decided to leave town and go on a hike.
We met up with a few other families to hike the Cime de Baudon, which starts in Peille. Soon after we started, I realized, "We did this hike two years ago!" I had suspected as much but wasn't entirely sure until we got on the path.
It was classified as "sportive" and I would agree. It wasn't terribly difficult for our family but it definitely had some parts that were more climbing than hiking. It was 7 km but looked at felt like much longer. In the first picture, see the very top of the mountain in the distance? That's where we hiked up to!
The sky was still hazy from the Saharan dust that has been blowing over our region the past several days. On clear days you can see all the way to Corsica! The top of the mountain was 1,264 meters (4,146 feet).
Inga invited a friend to come along with us. Good by me as it kept the kids talking in French.
Ivy was in good form--in fact, I had to remind her not to be too crazy! She was running, jumping, doing all the things she normally would. She got really upset at one point when Zari told her she shouldn't be running and then Zari wouldn't let her be in front.
At the summit, we saw a flock of mountain goats (you can see them at the end of the video).
