This area of France is so beautiful! The cows had bells around their necks and it was so peaceful here, just like the Sound of Music. It reminded me of pictures of Switzerland I had seen. We were only about an hour from the border of Switzerland and Italy was almost as close. This mountain pass was called Col de la Forclaz which Dave climbed on his bike. It is very steep with 9k having a 9% grade and 1k at an 11.5 % grade. For all you cyclists out there you know that is not an easy climb. Needless to say we did not attempt this pass on our triple bike.
Loved this bicycle planter! It was in the middle of one of the roundabouts ( a circular area that you go through instead of a 4 way stop). The traffic flows much smoother but they are a little tricky when driving around. This would look great at Irvington Circle. Amy P. this would be a good project for you in your spare time. The only close call on vacation was when we were back in Vannes and I ALMOST hit another car driving on a roundabout. God was protecting us once again.
Lac d' Annecy sits in a valley and is surrounded by mountains. This is one of the views from the swimming beach.
On Monday we went to the beach to swim and relax in Lac d' Annecy which you can see is so crystal blue. When I was researching this area on the net before we left, it was said to be one of the purest lakes in Europe due to the strict environmental regulations introduced in the 60's. Lac d' Annecy is the second largest lake in France measuring 14k. Dave and I took turns being in the water with Meghan because he felt more comfortable with someone being with all our things, including our only set of car keys. The warm sun felt so good since it has been so cool back in Vannes.
