With the weather forecast for **Sunday** looking mostly sunny but maybe a bit of rain inbetween. I anyway suggest to a hike in the surroundings of St. Martin Vésubie. It is easily accessible by public transport for 1€50 and a lovely ride of about 1h30. Starting point is the village, which by itself is worth a visit, being a charming mountain place. This is a sportive hike, going up to Cime de Piagu. Temperatures in the mountains are still very comfortable, not too hot and about 10C lower than on the coast, thus perfect for hiking. **Pace**: relaxed, but overall it is a sportive hike **Start-time**: 10h00 **Elevation gain:** 1100m **Duration**: about 6h00 plus time for lunch **Meeting point**: in front of the town hall/tourist office **Google Maps:** [Starting Point](https://goo.gl/maps/hHZYjFvpHJ8YLvsAA) The usual: proper shoes, water, a rain coat, wind breaker, warm pullover and something to eat for your lunch. Plus sun glasses and sun screen. If you need a car share or you can offer one, please ask in the comments. Also accessible by public transport, **bus 90 from Nice Arboras 8h10-> St Martin Vesubie 9h40.** [https://ftp.lignesdazur.com/ligne_90.pdf](https://ftp.lignesdazur.com/ligne_90.pdf) My phone number in case you are late or can't find us: 06.70.69.98.49 SMS or WhatsApp

By popular demand, the group wanted to read and discuss the semi-autobiographical novel by Henri-Pierre Roche, that inspired the Truffaut movie we watched last year. The book is available through the Columbus Library's interlibrary loan system. They reported there are twenty-eight copies available in the state of Ohio. If you have a library card, you can file an interlibrary loan request here: https://www.columbuslibrary.org/library-services/ . There are also used copies available on Amazon and eBay for under twenty dollars. You may want to rewatch the movie after reading the book, so we can compare and contrast in our discussion. The Columbus Library has four copies on DVD, and it's streaming on HBOMax.

In the year 2044, in the age of AI, a woman named Gabrielle (Seydoux) tries to purify her DNA by purging the inherited memories of her past lives. She (re)lives her life in 1910 Paris and 2014 Los Angeles, and as the procedure goes on, the lines between her worlds become blurred. These three timelines have a lot of connective tissue holding them together; certain symbols and motifs appear repeatedly, not to mention Mackay’s Louis, a figure whom Gabrielle seems drawn to in each lifetime. *The Beast / La Bête* can be streamed for free on Kanopy or the Criterion Channel. It's also available for rent on Amazon Prime, AppleTV and YouTube.
