We have had more problems with the blog. It comes up with a French version of the headings, with no way to add a new post. So this is a test only. I will proceed anyway!
Last Sunday we drove from Grenoble, without exploring any of that large city. We decided to have a look at the smaller town of Chambery. As usual on Sunday's in France the centre was almost deserted. With difficulty we managed to find a fast food outlet open - for drinks and toilet. We walked to the nearby Cathedral and were greeted by a group of clergy and laity,mostly Africans, and obviously had been celebrating some event. It was all very colorful,with music.
Next we had any easy drive, following the river Isere, along what appeared to be the top of a levee bank. This was the longest straight road we had been on since before Nice. Not quite like the Nullarbor highway though! We stopped for lunch (from Subway) in a lovely park in the town of Albertville. Now we set the GPS for our address in the tiny village of Cons St. Colombe.
We were delighted to find that it was sited on a hillside, with snow on the peak above. The nearest shops are 3 km away in Faverges, with Annecy about 30 km away.
Our apartment is the best yet - large, well equipped and decorated, with a beautiful garden. Best of all, our hosts, Andre and Joelle, were so welcoming - a delightful, friendly couple.
I do hope this post gets on!
