Today was shopping day, so after a pit stop we went to fill up Bluey's cupboards. We also realised that we had lost the pipe from Mark's previous fix it job on the leaky aircon. So we were off to Leroy Merlin for the required pieces. We then had to wait for the Narbonne Accessories store to open at 2pm for us to enquire about whether we required gas bottle adaptors for Italy (apparently not), but we still managed to purchase some toilet chemicals (don't want to run out at the most unopportune time). Now we were ready to drive up from 250m to 1050m alt. into the Vercors Regional Nature Park. When I looked on Trip Advisor, this was the #1 place to visit in Grenoble! It was a pretty drive offering great views of the valley. The weather is not as humid up here either, which is nice. Our destination was not far away to an aire in Lans en Vercors, a parking area situated at a paragliding field. Whilst enjoying a beer, we watched people learning how to paraglide. Then after an early dinner, Mark installed the new piece of pipe before we went for a walk into the village. I couldn't resist buying some Croc sandles...more luggage to bring home!
