Night Hike/Rando: Bastile my Moonlight (To celebrate change in Curfew)

An urban night hike above the city celebrate the relaxation of curfew to 23H and also pay tribute to those who have suffered or lost someone during the pandemic (**)!

💡 Note: if you want to sleep in the mountain near Mont Rachais, Albin is organizing an "alternative" end for this hike 🌙 You can subscribe here: https://mensuel.framapad.org/p/sleepingnearrachais-9o0x

Sunset on next Friday is at 20:45; but it should be well dark on the western trail to Bastille before then.

THE PATH IS SET!

There are 3 well known paths from Grenoble to the Bastille.

There are also two-to-three less-well-known ones, and that's the one for us!

For now, know That you will need a headlamp to navigate the trail, and a thermos of something warm to drink at the top 🍵 ☕️

If you do not have a head-light? No time to shop at Decathlon?

• 19:45 Walk towards Port de France
• 19:55 Hike up the Bastille to the memorial (30 minutes max) NOTE: The gate at the Bastille is normally locked at 21H, so it is important to pass-thru before (*)

(*)This is France; Some persons could just arbitrarily decide to lock the Bastille gate early, like its a mom & pop boutique that sells petite hand-painted statuettes of Dragons.
