Glandage and the Diois

Glandage is a tiny village on the northern edge of Provence (where does Provence start and end?)  We stayed at the delightfully photogenic chambres d'hote, le Colombier, (=Dovecote) with excellent meals and tastefully decorated, spacious rooms. 

Trying to keep up our C2C exercise regime we walked up the remote Glandage valley...

... climbed the small peak (200m) near Le Colombier...

... and walked around the spectacular Cirque D'Archiane with 800m cliffs above us. 

We also took in Phillipe and Claire's sheep farm (where they make great sheep's cheese) and the small market town of Die.

Then it was back north through the Vercours toward Albertville and the Haute Alpes ...
... taking with us the advice from the front of a little house in the Rue Nouvelle in Die:
