Coffee, Cake and Crêpes Fuel the Tour du Mont Blanc
Guided by Gary Daines
The Tour du Mont Blanc, “TMB,” is a classic, and it always catches people unaware of how much up and down there really is along the route. Cake, coffee, and crêpes were the center point of each day and they helped fuel us for the climbs.
