We have been boosted by the arrival in Grenoble early this morning of our delightful older daughter from Paris. She is joining us for a week of walking in the Alps.

It was a fairly short walk today, so we were quite relaxed as we left Grenoble. After a few kilometres walking through the suburbs of the city, we found ourselves climbing through the woods. As the path levelled out we used a strategically-located log as a bench, and had our lunch stop.

After lunch we continued on towards Vizille, mostly on paths through the forest. When the forest cleared, the mountains came into view.

Once we had checked in to our hotel in Vizille, we headed to the nearby Château de Vizille to visit the Museum of the French Revolution.

Our delightful older daughter has been following our blog, and knew how we would be celebrating her joining us:

The castle gardens were very popular this afternoon. Among the people of all ages taking advantage of the lovely Spring weather, we counted 4 separate wedding groups having photographs taken.
