Long but easy ramble

Sunday 5 August
Arrive between 8:30 and 10:00
St Jean des Ollières, in front of the town hall (mairie)
Organized walk (you get given a map and a packed lunch, the walk is well sign-posted and there are halts where you can get water and something to nibble; it's usually great fun, and the fact of not getting lost is a plus! It's a good way of getting to meet the locals as well as other visitors. Choose to do either the 12km, the 18km, or the mega 28km ramble!)
You need to 'phone first to reserve places: 04 73 70 98 38
If your French is a bit scratchy and the person at the other end of the phone does not speak a word of English, say :"Bonjour, je voudrais reserver pour une/deux/trois/quatre/cinq/six/sept/huit personnes(s) s'il vous plaît, merci. Mon nom est (say your name slowly)".
