The day began with lunch around 7:30, enhanced by the generous contribution of Cyril who brought us croissants and chocolat. The puzzle begins around 8.30 am when we loaded the luggage of several vehicles in addition to new coolers and all the bottles of creme de cassis received during the visit on Wednesday.
We finally leave around 9am, with a heavy heart not to have our private guide (Cyril). Around noon, we start to see numerous mountains ever larger, we arrive in the Alps. We made a stop at a rest stop to admire the panoramic view of the mountains (the Alps).
We finally arrive at the Auberge de Jeunesse de Chamonix around 13h, but we can not have the rooms before 17 pm. So we're off to the Aiguille du Midi. To maximize the safety of our luggage remained in the vehicle, Michel requires underground parking as they are equipped with surveillance cameras.
14h: The purchase of tickets is done, we can now make the ascent by cable car. The first part of the climb is called the Plan of the needle, it takes 8 minutes and is situated 2317 meters above sea level. We subsequently a second cable car takes us to the Aiguille du Midi in 8 minutes and is located 3777 meters above sea level. 
After this panoramic view of snow-covered Alps, at a temperature of 6 ° C peak (28o C in the valley) and a Light snow falling from the sky, back to the inn where we expect a dinner consisting of salad, tabbouleh, a Pollock fillet with herbs, decorated with a vegetable stir fry and ending with a crème brûlée caramel. During the evening free, some have preferred to stay at the inn to relax while others took advantage of good weather to go for a drink downtown.
Unbelievable but the day passed without one astray and get lost, and hiking in the car was done in a shorter period than expected!
