Milk from the Romanens farm where we are staying! It was one of only about 10 vats.
The workroom where they mix the chocolate.
The old mixer.
My favorite part of the chocolate assembly line - the arm that snatches the pieces of chocolates without hurting them and places them into a single file line to get wrapped up.
The finished product.

So. much. chocolate! We literally ate ourselves sick in here - or at least I did. The girls were fine and Doug has super human resistance powers.

Another view from our hike.
Mountains in the distance.
A little chapel we found on the farm owned by the same people as where we are staying. It is part of the Sentier des Pauvres - a famous old hiking path.
Cows. No bells though.

It was so beautiful that I just kept taking pictures in hopes that the beauty would come through. I don't think it does.
Beautiful views.
Beautiful sky!
We had a quick lunch beside a country road.
We hiked down into the forest, via some steep steps, to the stream. We followed the Sentier des Pauvres path all along the stream.
