This was the first time (Oct 31) we rented a hybrid car from Citélib, a Yaris (automatic). It was comfortable and very quiet to drive. Actually, so quiet that we scared some hunters walking on the road; they did not hear us approaching until we had sneaked right behind them. And that was middle of nowhere with no other traffic!

	We spent four and a half hours hiking in the most gorgeous Saint-Christophe-en-Oisans in Ecrins range. We started at 1300 meters and climbed up to 1857 meters on a gentle zig-zag trail. The descent was steeper and trickier because of numerous rock slides we had to cross. We only met two people on our way, a young couple who had spent the night at the shelter.
