Images of the French Alps added

I've added some of the images I took on my one-week trip to Briançon - Guillestre in the French Alps.
Two days of bad weather and fanatic birdwatchers as my companions resulted in not as many images as I had expected.
In two weeks I'm off to the Provence and Camarque in France, so you can expect lots of new images very soon.
