Migrating my blog from Wordpress.com to Hugo & Cloudflare
A few months ago, I decided to migrate my personal blog (former location) from Wordpress.com (free plan), where I had hosted it since 2008, to a static website (that you are reading now). The reason was that I noticed the ads really taking over the posts: There used to be a banner ad and ads at the end of the posts. But by accident, I browsed my website without UBlock and I saw there were so many ads in the body of the post. One option would have been to go with the paid Starter plan (currently $5, their cheapest paid offering). Instead, I decided to move to a static website.

Hike to Le Brévent through Montagne de la Coquille

Signs of spring
Hike to Montagne d'Âge, Montagne de la Mandallaz & Crêt de la Dame
In summer 2021, I walked through 3 small mountains on the north-west side of Annecy: Montagne d’Âge, Montagne de la Mandallaz & Crêt de la Dame. It was a very hot day so that hike let me stay mostly in the shade of the forest.

Hike to Chapeau de Napoléon
At the end of 2022, I went on a hike to Chapeau de Napoléon, a minor summit located between Mont Veyrier and Mont Baret above Lake Annecy. The name refers to the similarity of its shape with the hat worn by Napoléon.
