How seriously the French take their food. In the mountain's meals follow a familiar pattern: vegetable soup, potato and leek for example, followed by a main course of vegetable stew or sausage, rice and bacon, followed by a salad then cheese of the region, and finally tart or sweet. check out our website http://leveretcroft.com⠀ ⠀ #travel #traveljournal #travelblog #france #mountains #mountaineering #climbing #alps #hiking #trekking #motorbike #motorcycle #bmw #R100RS #dirtroad #yonne #coldizoard #coldiseran #forclaz #adventure #exploration #beaume #chamonix #camping #argentiere #courmayer #Queyras #L'Eychaillon⠀ ⠀ (at Parc naturel régional du Queyras) https://www.instagram.com/p/Boj8MmzHnkk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=d77uj2dqc978

"Fustes" or wooden houses, now rare , are still found in the Queyras. There would be a stable and living area on the ground floor ing the "fuste" or hayloft was on the 1st floor, built from larch wood, with plenty of ventilation to allow the hay to dry. check out our website http://leveretcroft.com⠀ ⠀ #travel #traveljournal #travelblog #france #mountains #mountaineering #climbing #alps #hiking #trekking #motorbike #motorcycle #bmw #R100RS #dirtroad #yonne #coldizoard #coldiseran #forclaz #adventure #exploration #beaume #chamonix #camping #argentiere #courmayer #Queyras #L'Eychaillon⠀ (at Parc naturel régional du Queyras) https://www.instagram.com/p/Boinx1YH1Zb/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1n51h1lwbpuaa

The Queyras is one of the oldest mountain ranges of the Alps, and it was one of the last ones to be opened to tourism and is relatively unspoilt. It was isolated for many centuries, and could not be reached throughout the year until 1855 check out our website http://leveretcroft.com⠀ ⠀ #travel #traveljournal #travelblog #france #mountains #mountaineering #climbing #alps #hiking #trekking #motorbike #motorcycle #bmw #R100RS #dirtroad #yonne #coldizoard #coldiseran #forclaz #adventure #exploration #beaume #chamonix #camping #argentiere #courmayer #Queyras #L'Eychaillon⠀ ⠀ (at Parc naturel régional du Queyras) https://www.instagram.com/p/BohWUB3nwu8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=p7mt2d8wcwnp
