Annecy, France

On Saturday we drove about an hour to Annecy, France. It's amazing how different it was compared to Switzerland, even though it is so close.

Canals run through the old town of Annecy and restaurants line every street. Every other vendor was selling crepes or ice cream, which are harder to find here. The streets are cobblestone and everything felt so much older than it does in Switzerland.



There is a large old-fashioned carousel near the lake and the kids had fun riding together. I think I heard Alex say, "Ruby, it's just like at the Spectrum!"





Pete and Alex ended the day with some ice cream. You can see they are standing in front of my favorite shop in Annecy....the Chocolatier. Unfortunately, Ruby and Henry missed out on the desserts.
