Today was our last in Grenoble. We are heading to the train station tomorrow morning to go to Paris for our last few days. We are really going to miss our little chalet and life in the mountains. It has been an amazing week of hiking, sights, and the Tour de France.
We went to Voiron today to the distillery where Chartreuse is made (Google it). The monastery we hiked by earlier in the week is where it was originally made 250 years ago. It is now made at the facility where we visited today, but by the same monks. Only the monks know the recipe (130 plants and herbs) and the amount of aging required to make it. The storage facility is a 164 m long cave, the longest such facility in the world. It was very interesting.
Tonight we walked up to the village for one of our best dinners yet! The boys had a humongous sunday to top it all off. It was a great way to finish the week off.
Hard to believe we will be standing by the Eiffel Tower tomorrow night.
Bonne nuit, mes amis!! À demain!
