Mount Beauvray



The forground is from a moestary built and re built, and rebuilt again between the 15th and 17th centuries.  The background is just stunning.  The way up was a single lane, patched and the steepest road i have ever been on.  Most of it was 15 to 20%, some was 20 to 25%, and a 30 meter section was 30%.  This was insane.  The downhill side had some 20% sections that were interesting due to the bumpy, graveled, moist, bark covered cart path, with brakes that were rendered marginal from the descent into Geneva last week.  Wow, what a ride.  I am in Chateau Chinon, whose claim to fame was that Mitterand was mayor here before he was president of france.  It is in the Morvan, a Natural park.  Beautiful views when you are not gasping for air.
