SEEKING ACCOMMODATION IN THE FRENCH ALPS?
Many of you will remember Pierre and Catherine van Vaerenbergh, two
Belgian members of SUHC from a few years back. They are now living just
outside Grenoble in the heart of the French Alps where they have built a
superb house to their own design. The ground floor is now a 'Gite de
France' accommodating 4 people which conforms to very high standards
laid down by the French Tourist Board.
The village of Lans-en-Vercors is situated 15 miles south-west of
Grenoble amidst high level Alpine pastures. It forms an excellent base
for exploring the rugged limestone mountains of the Vercors National
Park to the south with much less demanding scenary immediately on the
doorstep. The snow covered peaks and glaciers of the Ecrins National
Park lying to the east of Grenoble can also be reached by car.
All types of winter sports can be tried in the immediate area which does
not suffer from the usual exploitation/commercialisation problems
encountered at the far more crowded and fashionable winter sports
centres.
A warm and friendly welcome is guaranteed by Pierre and Catherine who
dispell the theory that Belgians do not have a sense of humour! So if
anybody fancies spending a week or two walking or skiing at very
reasonable rates then please do not hesitate in phoning them.
