SUMMER IN LES ARCS: THE TOP 10

1. Cycling - it's where Miguel Indurain cracked in the 1996 Tour de France. Never the same again... 
2. Spot the development opportunity #1.  Capitalism in action: Gilles and Annick had to move out of the much loved Aiguille Grive.  It is now demolished and "the future site of a 4 star hotel".  Hmm  :(
3. Spot the development opportunity #2.  Probably the most scenic tennis court I've seen.  It will now have a wider market, as the site of the new "EdenArc" development...
4. It is always warmer inside this pool than out
5. At the top of the Transarc (2550m)
6. Remembering the ski season: Top of Cachette lift, Les Coches in the background (2100m)
7. L'urbanisme (1800m) et Le Mont Blanc (4810m)
8. Looking at Marmottes (2400m; below Transarc)
9. Le Golf: Les Arcs' nursery slopes
10. The Architecture.  Arc 1600 (opened in 1968)
