8/6 - Chamonix & le Brévent

After biking from Megève to Chamonix yesterday, today we hiked le Brévent (2525 m). It was cloudy off and on, completely white for a while, but the view was spectacular at times. On a clear day you can see Mont Blanc (4807 m) very well from the peak. We stayed at a great campsite and in the evening watched the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie (in English with French subtitles) at the local theater. Every English speaking person in Chamonix must have been there. Tomorrow, we leave France, en route to Montreux, Switzerland.
