French Alps for Christmas

We were very lucky to get to France before lock down.
We left at 05.00 on Friday morning arriving at Folkestone at 07.30.
We queued for several hours to get on a Euro Tunnel train.
Everyone was trying to get across before the midnight ban and there were long delays at French customs as they checked post Brexit paperwork etc.
We arrived in France at about midday local time.
There was some fog at the beginning of the journey and a lot of lorries.
We eventually arrived at the apartment at 20.30
There is plant of snow here as you can see from the photo taken from our window.
We plan to be here for 6 weeks so that Mandy can catch up on her skiing and I can introduce Cracker the dog to the snow.
