The day ended with 9 km uphill from Groslée to Lhuis. "06" started a race...

...so I had to "respond".

In Lhuis the group was accommodated in two places, I was among them who stayed in castle Les Boissiéres.

The castle had nice rooms.

The whole group gathered at Au Millieu des Fruits for a very nice dinner.

It was nice staying in the castle. Even the night entertainment was great.
