7am the sun is shining and a new day filled with incredible adventures awaits our travelers! Following a survey difficult for some students, a breakfast at the French STILL waiting''''our passengers. And yes! Crusty bread, crusty bread and crusty bread ... Well I love crusty bread, do not believe otherwise ... But there's always ben limits! Where have all the eggs, bacon and turbines?! I exaggerate a bit ... I just find it amusing to see how the manners of our two countries are different!
Enough chatter, I am still carried away! So after this lovely lunch, we took the road to the town of Voiron an hour from our hostel. Important note: This charming village is the birthplace of a legendary figure of the ITA! And I appointed Mr. Patrick Tirard-Collet! (Hi Patrick! You??). Thanks to Carmen (I named our GPS Carmen passing ...) we took the path of the Charterhouse, a company who is several hundred years that produces an elixir of life to taste absolutely sublime! 
In the bowels of the fatal liquor factory, we were able to visit a mysterious cellar and magnificent! Hundreds of oak barrels, intoxicating odors, and long dark corridors that seemed to suck us in the past. In every corner and every shadow seemed to hide the ghosts of monks of the Chartreuse, imploring us to listen to their stories!

Finally, we ended the visit with a tasting of many products offered by the house: The green chartreuse, yellow, raspberry liqueur, Cassis, etc. ... I sincerely hope, dear readers, that one of our passengers will earn you one of those bottles of elixir and floral aromas intoxicating scents! Interesting note, during the visit, several questions have been asked to guide the students but remained unanswered, because there are only two monks alive who know the secret recipe from La Chartreuse!
Following this visit, we took the road to a small cafeteria to satiate our adventurers. An affable and simple meal was served and we all took the time to buy the finds at the store next door. Carmen has subsequently indicated the path of a small factory that manufactures a unique product: the Antésite ... How fabulous discovery that this product refreshing with a slight taste of anise. Licorice is a natural product that has many health benefits and to quench the thirst! Christmas is the apothecary Perrot Berton who invented this recipe in 1898. The Antésite quickly gained popularity and became a recognized brand!

Many students were attracted by the products offered by the shop of the factory and charmed by the quintessence of new flavors that inflamed their taste ...
This wonderful day ended at the hostel where many students were very happy to find a meal of fried and roasted chicken! And to wash down the evening, some of them organized a tasting of wines from the region!
The result of our adventures tomorrow!
