Hike to Mont Truc (Saint-Gervais-les-Bains)
Last fall, I went on a hike to Mont Truc, in Saint-Gervais-les-Bains. In French, its name would translate to Mount Thingy, but in Franco-Provençal, a truc is actually a small hill. I had already passed through the area, when I went on a hike to Mont Vorassay.
