🥾🌚Harvest Moon (la pleine lune de moisson) - Night Hike to Bastille🌚🥾

🥾🌚Harvest Moon ("la pleine lune de moisson") - Night Hike to Bastille🌚🥾

2022-10-08

Summary

Pack a thermos of hot tea and your headlight/torch!

An urban night hike above the city to catch a sight the Harvest Moon in all of its celestial magnificence from a spot high above the city.

NOTE: We missed the actual Harvest Moon of 2022; apparently it was already on 10th September, so instead we'll go on 8th October when there is the next full-moon.

Sunset for 8th October 2022 is forecast 19:40.

Route

There are 3 well known paths from Grenoble to the Bastille. There is one less well known, and that's the one for us! You may look at the route here:
