Le lac de Guery

A few Sundays ago we went hiking at Le lac de Guery. It is about 40 minutes outside of Clermont, past Puy de Dome and is the highest lake in Auvergne. It was about a 4 km hike full of waterfalls, fields of wild daffodils and beautiful views of mountains in the distance covered in snow.

Across from where we parked where some steep hills/pastures that were full of wild daffodils. My friend Tracy and I decided to crawl through on opening on the barbed wire fence and pick a few. We were pretty sure a bull was going to come and rush us at any moment. So we collected our bouquets and got out of there!

Proof we were actually there.

 The drive to the hike was breathtakingly beautiful.

So beautiful.

What a hike with 6 kids actually looks like.
