Yesterday the whole Walk Inn team hiked the Toulourenc gorge: a magnificent river hidden behind Mont Ventoux. I get paid dozens of times during the year to go hiking, and now my colleagues can boast the same thing!! Below is our approach walk towards the river, on a path laden with Spanish broom.
Would you let the man below do your accounting?
We do: meet Renaud, our accountant. Since he's getting married in a couple of weeks, we decided to dress him up for the occassion. But in the river he had the last laugh, as his teenage-mutant-ninja-turtle-suit helped him cruise down the river.
Enjoying the waters of the Toulourenc:
Our boss, Yann, plunging head-first into the rushing waters...
... throwing caution to the wind...
...surviving the ordeal...
...and helping Françoise do the same.
Marjorie braving the cool waters:
In some areas along the river we stopped in the pools:
Most of the time the water is only ankle-high but along some passages it was higher:
As we head downriver the canyon narrows, framed by limestone walls:
Isabelle and Françoise enjoying our adventure:
Nearing the end of the hike, meandering along the river:
Having a break along the way:
I hope we do this next year too!!!
