Ruffy had heard from a friend that there was a place called Annecy not far from Lyon, with a beautiful Chateau which was worth a visit. Needless to say, no photos of the Chateau have made it on to the blog mainly because we were all absolutely floored when we drove past this! From the outset the town itself didn't look particuarly pretty, but as we drove a bit further through the town we discovered the picturesque mountains, crystal clear turquoise lake and a canalside town dripping with culture and heritage.
It was a perfect day, around 28 degrees, and we hired a paddle boat and headed out towards the mountains. Although we weren't prepared, none of us could resist the temptation to dive in and we spent a glorious hour swimming in the fresh water. Words just can't describe such an incredible experience and no picture will ever capture how spectacular it was.
