    I really enjoyed Vallouise, dragged myself away about 11am yesterday. It's a lovely alpine town, quite an arty/artisan type place, hanging on to traditional/ heritage values as much as they can. None of the retail extravaganza of Chamonix. Vallouise festival is on this weekend if you feel like a change of scene.
    Les Ecrins national park is stunningly beautiful but quite tiring, lots of up & lots of down.
    Recovering over a beer at Refuge du Clot atm, will bivouac here & do the dinner. Did the same at Refuge du pre de la Chaumette kast night. I quite like the free bivouac & options for shower, meal, etc
    Could be quite a big day tomorrow, hope to get to Serveille-Bergererie bivouac area tomorrow
