Soaked Annecy - Old and New Town
Annecy has a pretty old town and a generic modern component too. Even in the rain our exploration was fun.
Sweet Annecy - La Cure Gourmande
We arrived in the rain and made our way quickly to the old town. Our hope was to spend time out of the rain, finding shelter in the shops, churches, and cafes.
Vivid Colours
These brightly colour plants caught my attention in the market this morning.
Kaki
Our local market was abundant with new produce this week. Amongst the seasonal offerings, there was an array of fruit and vegetables that I have never seen before. One of these new discoveries is kaki.
More Strass
I was not sure what strass meant but it seems I have been neglecting the desire to add imitation gems to my boots.
The End of Summer
There have been a number of signs that summer has left us for this year; apples are appearing in the market, the leaves are starting to fall from the trees, and we have the doonas on the bed. But two things this week have confirmed it for me.
Dream House
“Dream House” by La Monte & Marian Zazeela is exhibiting at MAC Lyon, Musée d’art contemporain de Lyon.
Lake Annecy
We arrived in Annecy in the rain, but on our second day we were rewarded with bright sunshine. Perfect for enjoying a walk along the edge of the lake.
Annecy by Night
Annecy was described to me as beautiful and “tourisitique”, and it lived up to both of these descriptions.
Impasse de Capitalisme
At times, I feel this sign sums up much of French sentiment.
