It got very slippery again after the rain. Aproaching Clairvaux. Once a very important Cistercian monastery, founded by famous Bernard of Claivaux and 12 monks in 1115. The buildings are used as a prison since 1818. Ilich Ramírez Sánchez, better known as "Carlos the Jackal", is imprisoned here since a couple of years.
