Lacs de la Casse Blanche

This beautiful hike had an ulterior motive since we wanted to pick up some Génépi flowers to refill the liquor storage. For those who don't know, Génépi is a mountain liquor that locals have prepared themselves for ages. It's made of the flower of the plant, and nowadays there are some limitations as of what amount of flowers you're allowed to pick up. Anyhow, getting your hands on it requires getting to where the flowers grow, which is in rocky and steep slopes. So, only the real deals can and are willing to go for it! Let's just say that I wouldn't try it because even just watching Denis made me kinda nervous. But what wouldn't you do for a good digestive mountain drink!?
