Discovering the Aveyron under the snow

5th day of rain here. We get a message from a couple of friends in Aveyron “It snows like it hasn’t been for 30 years! Fresh snow is everywhere. It looks AMAZING. Come here!”. That’s how we’ve ended up running to the nearest sports shop to buy some ski gear, packing up our stuff in a couple of hours then leaving the next day for a spontaneous road trip in a snow wonderland !
