I enjoyed very much this excursion in the Ubaye Valley: beautiful landscapes and nice encounters.
There are some interesting aspects of this region: the life in the villages (the market, "Momo" and the local products,the moment of the petanque, the Chevalier family an the hamlet of Lens-Marielle Chevalier and the cooking workshop, the cooking of hand made pastas and local vegetables-, the paddle board on the Lac de Serre-Ponçon), Frédéric Chaix and the ULM pendulaire flight over the mountains (the mountain restaurant Le Peguieou-2365 meters above sea lever, the cook Claudine and the cooking of food at this altitude-), the creator of climbing routes Laurent Perez (the abseiling and the marking of a new climbing route),the village of Saint-Paul-sur Ubaye (the market, Laurent and Laurence Signoret and the traditional bakery, the baking of bread 4 times a week, Grégoire et Laurène and the brewery-120.000 bottles of mountain beer each year, the young couples and the restoring of local buildings), the hydroelectric dam of Serre-Ponçon (Pascale Sautel explaining the story and the working of the dam), the avalanche danger at the Col de l'Arche (Hugo Collomb and the reforestation program) , the ballades aqua-ludiques in the Ubaye river with Chantal Bonaglia, the Col de la Bonnette ( Guy Moron-a great connaisseur of this ascent-, the cyclists arriving at 2802 meters above sea level, the road crossing the National Park of the Mercantour, the ornithologist Heré Brosius and the monitoring of the bearded vulture, the astronomer Yohan Archambaud with his Newton telescope) and the Mexican influence in Barcelonette (the festival with mariachis, Mexican folk dance groupes, the Ubaye merchants migrant in Mexico, the Musée de la Vallée, the Art Nouveau buildings, the famos Villa Puebla).
I enjoyed the encounters of Ismaèl with the mountain guide Christophe Garrigues, with the alpinist and paraglider Sébastien Rémillieux, with the brothers Benoît and Jérôme Million Rousseau, with the sherpherdess Marie -Pierre Claude, her husband Joël Claudel and Lydie Bernard the shepherdess apprentice and with the wildlife photographer Gil Streicher, nice encounters with very nice Ubaye men and women.
