      Annecy

      March 23, 2023 in France ⋅ 🌧 14 °C

      Ganz im Osten des Landes erwarten mich die französischen Alpen, allerdings sind sie zum Großteil von Wolken verhangen.
      Dafür bietet mir Annecy eine sehr sehenswerte Altstadt mit zahlreichen kleinen Brücken über den Thiou. Entlang seiner Ufer reihen sich farbenfrohe Häuser aus dem Mittelalter und beim Blick über das türkise Wasser des gleichnamigen Sees kann ich doch noch einige hohe Gipfel entdecken.Read more

      Day 81

      Annecy

      October 11, 2023 in France ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C

      Our trip out of Switzerland was very smooth. We left pretty late so we could fit in a small sightseeing trip to a waterfall. We got on a couple of fancy Swiss trains and a bus. We caught our bus at 5:00 out of Geneva to Annecy

      Our next day was very chill. Dad and I went for a swim in the lake and wandered through the old town and looked in shops.

      The next day we basically did the same thing but this time we found a shopping centre and had a look around and got an ice cream. Even though our stay in Annecy was short, I loved having this time to relax in another French old town      Read more

      4. Tag in Annecy

      April 18 in France ⋅ ⛅ 8 °C

      Heute war ein durchwachsener Tag. Am Vormittag machen wir eine Bootsfahrt am Lac d'Annecy, die aber leider aus 2 Gründen nicht besonders berauschend ist.
      1.ist es heute leider wirklich ziemlich kalt und wir frieren während der 2-stündigen Fahrt ziemlich und
      2.ist die Bootsfahrt etwas langweilig,da wir kaum Infos bekommen und diese nur auf französisch sind und wir sie somit nicht wirklich verstehen.
      Am Nachmittag besuchen wir das alte Gefängnis Annecys. Leider auch kein besonderes Highlight 😬. Gegen 15.00 sind wir dann mit unserem Programm fertig und die Schüler (und auch wir) haben etwas Freizeit. Während die meisten Schüler zurück ins Internat fahren, gehen Lauriane und ich nochmal ins Rose des Neiges und gönnen uns nocheinmal eine der himmlischen Kreationen von Philippe Rigollot.
      Anschließend bummeln wir noch durch die Straßen Annecys. Gegen 19.00 treffen wir uns wieder mit den Schülern zu einem abschließenden Essen im Sapaudia, einem Italiener in der Altstadt. Wir lassen den letzten Abend noch nett ausklingen. Morgen gehts dann wieder zurück nach Salzburg!      Read more

      Day 2

      Lac d'Annecy

      July 31, 2022 in France ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C

      Heute früh habe ich mir ein ehrgeiziges Ziel gesetzt, ich wollte die Col des Sauts Runde machen. Aber als ich den Wanderweg gesehen habe, musste ich einen Rückzieher machen. Ein steiler Schotterweg ist nix für einen Tollpatsch mit Gehbehinderung, der allein unterwegs ist. Safety first. Also ging es weiter am See entlang bis Veyrier du Lac. Der Weg war das Ziel, die Stadt eher langweilig. Auf dem Rückweg habe ich ein Picknick am See gemacht, das war toll. Auf dem Hin- und Rückweg bin ich über die Pont des Amours gelaufen, dort am Kanal ist es wirklich schön. Zurück in der Stadt gab es wieder ein Eis in der Maison de Perrière. So gutes Eis habe ich seit meinem Urlaub in Siena in 2005 nicht mehr gegessen.Read more

      Annecy, France Day 17

      May 11, 2023 in France ⋅ ☁️ 59 °F

      Spent the morning exchanging the car. I am a much happier camper now - a Toyota Yaris with about 2500 miles on it. I even got my GPS to work in English already!

      Decided to spend the afternoon in the countryside. Have been in a city for 2.5 weeks and ready for some green. And the French countryside in this area did not disappoint. Headed for a gorge that I read about, only 6-7 miles from Annecy. A walk thru a very deep,gorge where the Fier river necks down through a very deep gorge. The video below shows the height that the river has reached in this gorge in various years. Interesting. As I neared the gorge driving in, I saw this huge, what I thought was a castle. I did not think much more about until I saw the signs for Chateau des Chemin.

      When I finished with the gorge and a Coke at the cafe, I started searching for the Chateau. Nearby I saw a sign for a trail to the Chateau which I took. Lots of uphill but finally got to the top and saw the Chateau. Walked all around but did not go in. Instead rood a path through the meadow with the cows - a wonderful walking path (cover pic) that are so easy to find all over Europe. Did some walking - so good to be out of the cities and in the beautiful outdoors again. Back to Annecy for a ‘feet up” couple hours and then out for a walk to the Lake before finding a great cafe, very. Near to my apartment, had a wonderful dinner - salmon tartar with fruit! Different combination- the presentation was terrific. Along with a glass of Viognier, my favorite French white wine, a great day. Back to Switzerland tomorrow.      Read more

      Day 38

      Annecy, France

      May 1, 2023 in France ⋅ 🌧 14 °C

      Today’s destination is Annecy, a town I have been really looking forward to visiting. Annecy was a settlement from Roman times and this alpine town is about 35km from the border with Switzerland. Looking up to the nearby mountains we can still see they are capped with snow. It’s known for its Vieille Ville (old town), with cobbled streets, winding canals and pastel-colored houses, and is sometimes called Venice of the Alps due to the canals and a river that runs through old town. It appears on so many lists as one of the prettiest towns in France - AND IT IS! Even though we arrived late in the afternoon and the clouds were grey, it still made us stop and go “Wow”.

      We did our usual thing - dropped our bags off and headed straight back out to get our bearings and some dinner.

      This town lives up to its hype, with its many flowerbeds and flowerpots filled with colourful blooms, it is so beautiful and picturesque. These adorn the railings on the numerous bridges that cross the canal running through town. The water is crystal clear like we have never seen before. Set amongst the lovely pastel coloured buildings this is a town we can’t wait to see in the sunshine, so we can take even more photos than we have this evening.

      It is a public holiday here for Labour Day so we had an early dinner to avoid the expected dinner rush. Brad enjoyed his salmon pasta dish while I ordered a Savoyard chicken fillet and local cheeses, which didn’t come out as I was expecting. It was still a tasty, if somewhat cheesy meal.

      Part of the a French tradition on Labour Day is to give your loved one a bunch of flowers, as it is known as Lily of the Valley Day, and these pretty little bunches are sold everywhere. Lucky me, Brad even purchased a little bouquet of flowers for me.

      It has been a while since we have had a gelato so to finish our day we tried one of the highly recommended gelateria on the way back to our apartment. So many new flavours to try but we both stuck with our favourite of black cherry which was delicious. A very yummy way to end our day. Can’t wait for tomorrow.      Read more

      Lac d'Annecy, Annecy

      May 2, 2023 in France ⋅ ⛅ 8 °C

      We were up bright and early this morning, eager to see the town in the morning light before all the day trippers arrived. And we were greeted with beautiful blue skies. Annecy is beautiful any time of day but in the morning light it is spectacular. We loved wandering down the laneways and alleys, heading towards the lake, and of course Annecy’s most photographed location, Les Palais de I’Ile. We can totally understand why this is “THE” spot as it is so picturesque and I took way too many photos too as it was different every time we walked past it with the way the light hit it.

      After a few hundred more photos we made our way to Lake Annecy, for a stroll along the promenade. The water is so clear and the colour is a beautiful turquoise blue, it looks so inviting. The gardens are home to numerous art works and pretty flowerbeds filled with colour. It is such a lovely way to start the day - a refreshing walk along the lake followed by a fabulous French breakfast next to Annecy’s icon. It is going to be a wonderful day.      Read more

      Old Town Market in Annecy, France

      May 2, 2023 in France ⋅ ⛅ 11 °C

      Every Tuesday, Friday and Sunday the streets of Old Town Annecy are filled with market stalls and we had a great time checking out all the colourful, interesting and tasty produce with lots of trying of samples. Of course this resulted in a bit of shopping too and we purchased Ingredients to make our dinner back at our apartment. We also purchased some delicious French nougat (so creamy), some lovely fresh oranges, meat skewers and vegetables mix. Brad even managed to find the cake he fell in love with in Dijon - it wasn’t as good but still delicious. It was a lot of fun.

      We explored some of the back laneways, found a cute courtyard featuring some street art and an artist whose work I admired, so I just had to purchase a piece of her work to take home. Overall it was a very successful shopping morning.      Read more
