Did you walk any of the GR5 ? Good few years since myself and some French & Belgian Friends had 7/10 days walking North to South late one September. On the final day into Nyon the heavens opened, but we were blessed to see the festival of cattle being brought down the mountain into their winter accommodation. Cowbells to make your ears ring, and some wearing wonderful garlands.
Names that I remember are Ribeauville, Villers le Lac, Les Rousses and limestone escarpments at Mont d’Or. Previous year we followed the GR5 through the Vosges..Doubs gorge and Belfont, famous for farm made cheese...could be wrong.
Great memories of two wonderful back packing journeys.
