Bonjour,
merci pour cette belle promenade. J'ai pu faire des belles photos. Peut-être pas toutes dans le thème.
Il me semble que 1h30 - 2h ne sont pas assez pour combler 20 mots. Surtout sur un chemin "tracé" (Office du tourisme - Musée - traversé d'Isère - Musée Dauphiné)
Il y a des mots qui me semble "trop vague" : Gant ... Tram .. vélo.
Certains mots demandent du temps pour le prendre (Mouvement).
Dans tout le cas c'était un après-midi très agréable - mais très froid. ?
Merci
Steffi Mann
