Stories Collected While Living in France

French la Vie

Mont Viso, Italy

Photos listed below taken by my dear friend G. Hutter, while with French husband hiking to towards the Sunrise at Mont Viso, Italy.

Every summer, actually every chance French Husband can take, he is either roping down a deep dark cave, or hanging from a cliff, or learning to fly.

Therefore, it is only natural to his wild nature, that French Husband goes on an adventurous trip while we are in California. This last week French husband and a dear friend hiked up the rocky, icy, top to Mont Viso, in Italy.

It is breathtaking… Mont Viso, but not as breathtaking as seeing my husband after nearly two weeks of being in California without him!

    Two charming men on top of the world. Thanks for showing us this Corey and French Husband.
    Seeing these glorious photos makes me aware of my concern for the changes our world goes through right now, with the global warming and the climat changes. How long will we be able to enjoy our glorious nature? We have a few glaciers here in Norway, though not as spectacular as what you show here. On our way south to visit my family in law in a few days time, we will drive along the western coast of Norway and spend three days instead of our usual one on the trave, just to enjoy the nature. On the way we will visit one of the Norwegian glaciers to show Marta and her friend which will be coming along, fully aware that we don’t know how many more years we have to share this spesific spectacular nature with our children, coming generation.

    every single person in your family looks like a professional model,
    they do!
    i am thinking that Happiness makes them shine…
    and,
    what does it say about you,
    that they smile so largely for YOU?

    His friend is breathtaking too!
    What an exotic couple of men taking a hike like that. It beats the hike I took with my family on that trail in NH.

    Very beautiful!
    What was written on the rock? perhaps a message to hikers or directions.
    Corey, isn’t it a wonderful feeling to be so in love with your husband! My husband still takes my breath away after 22 years. My heart still skips a beat when I just think about him. Talking to women, they don’t always feel the same way as I.
    I am very happy for you!

    First, he’s a poo for doing something so dangerous (you knew I would think that) secondly he (and his friend) are so sweet for making a video and allowing you to be able to share a part of him/his life while you are away!!! Isn’t the internet the coolest? That must have been so wonderful to be able to see him living, breathing, talking, being his hunky self, and being a poo.

    Amazing! I would LOVE to do that! I like hiking…although sometimes my knees do not agree with the rest of me. Rock on, French Husband (and friend!)!!

    Awesome. Nothing quite like climbing to the peak.
    Whenever I find a path I always want to go to it’s end to see why it is there. Mountain tops are the same. Once at the top that is it. Take a look around, enjoy and let it move you. Terrific video.
    Slap on the back to you Brother Yann!

    I loved seeing this video Corey. It reminded me at on point of the rock climbing I did when I was 50% younger that I am NOW. The loose rock and sound is so familiar. However, it was high desert and brown. No snow.

    Corey – did you add music to the video? My daughter asks who it is singing…??
