Beginning of this week, I tried to climb one of the passes of the Tour de France, not one of the highest, but among the steepest: the Grand Colombier. It's a nice narrow road, north of Le Bourget Lake. But the weather was not very favourable, contrasting with the heat wave that is very often present here this summer. A very strong north wind prevented any navigation of sailboats on the lake. It did not hurt too much for the motorcycle ride, but many clouds remained on the reliefs from 1200 m altitude. So we didn't complete the whole pass, we'll come back an other day!
Stopping before getting into the clouds, we had a great sight over The Rhone river and Le Bourget Lake:
