June 18, 2025,8ème jour Saint Martin \ Col de la machine Combe Laval

A lovely outing with a visit to the Resistance Museum in Vaissieux-en-Vercors.
The passage of the Germans, and particularly the SS, left indelible marks 😪😪.
Stayed in a gîte at the edge of the Combe Laval departure point 😳😳😳 impressive 🫣
