Annecy

Today's the day ......................... to go home

We were flying home from Geneva and so that meant a two hour drive north eastwards through the Rhone Alps and across the border into Switzerland. We stopped for a while in Annecy, the capital of the department of Haute-Savoie.

Annecy bid to host the 2018 Winter Olympic Games but lost to Pyeongchang. If it had been chosen, it would have been the fourth French city to host the Winter Olympic Games, after Chamonix (1924), Grenoble (1968), and Albertville (1992).

By the time we arrived in this lovely town, the rain was lashing down and we had no alternative but to find a really good restaurant where we could have our last proper french lunch ..........................
