One night at the Pic du Midi

One of the most beautiful sunsets

 Our adventure begins with an information meeting overlooking snow-capped mountains.

Followed by a tour of the terrace and explanations on our position,  from there I saw one of the most beautiful sunsets of my life… Even though I’m only 17!

The group and myself build up an appetite (a small committee of approximately 20 people). The gourmet restaurant is excellent with an impeccable service. So much so that we reserve a table for lunch the following day before coming back down. After the meal, the planetarium, where we learn the theory of the stunning starry sky we’re about to observe. We’re lucky to have an obviously passionate host with a great sense of humour, which makes our activity even more fun.

At around 10:30pm, and my mind full of stars, I begin to fall into the arms of Morpheus. I take a last look out of the window to see the beautiful snowy mountains… my eyes close. 

Incredible moments and sensations 

 I will remember these incredible moments and sensations.

I have the impression of having lived a privileged experience aboard a ship (at night red lights only, to illuminate and not pollute) with a stopover in Antarctica for stargazing.

What would your definition of this experience be? 

 I recommend this adventure that is forever engraved in my memory. 

This adventure is forever engraved in my memory, and I highly recommend trying it for yourself.
