I love Paris, Jennie (who lived in NIce for three years in the mid-1970s after fleeing Ireland) loves Provençe, and I worked in a winery there (Chateau Montaud, Domaines Ravel, Pierrefeu-du-Var).
Now back to the Fontainbleau, I only bouldered there once. But an article by an author with the surname French leaves me suspect to the objectivity of such an article. Okay, hah hah just joking, good article and well written.

I know, 3+ months on the road is pretty boring... whereas 3 weeks of wine, pastries, and perfect slopers is not.
