Took a day trip out of Lyon to Perouges. the medieval town is a 20min walk from the train station.

You gently curve up stone clad paths and find yourself bumped into another time-space. Stone-clad houses lined with bricks, curved pebbles on the ground polished by time, this very small medieval village and one of the most beautiful in France, is straight out of the past.

It’s a place where the imagination comes alive.

We came back into this reality and headed to the Meximeux food market. I love produce – not that I cook well but the vibrant colours always nourish me

We headed for Thonon Les Bains but there was not much to see and we missed our train to Evian Les Bains

After an hour of wait we got on the train to Evian and headed straight to Source Cachet and filled up my bottle of Evian!

I have always wanted to come to this place to see the magic behind Evian

And I am once again acquainted with the power of a wish or intention- if you want something enough it comes to you in a matter of time

We took a walk at Lake Geneva and caught the Fabulous Village in action

Then went towards Geneva, did a bit of shopping and headed back to Annecy for dinner.

Bf said happy new year to me in the morning and we hugged and it was good 😊

We checked out of Bern and headed to Annecy, Venice of the French Alps.

The city is lovely and charming with colored walls and quaint buildings. Canals thread the old town and the stroll was pleasant and pretty.

We just took time to stroll

Chanced upon tresa pain and we had really great pear apple and apricot tarts!

This region is famous for cheese. While we don’t particularly appreciate cheese, whiffs of it of diners having a good time with fondue could be had as we walked the cobbled path.

Most shops were closed for the holiday but people were up and about. We walked to Lake Annecy and sat by the lake seeing swans ducks mandarin ducks seagulls frolicking in the waters.

Bf is having a flu and we rested early for the night.
