Medieval

On our way towards Switzerland, we visited Perouge, a hilltop medieval village, and Annecy, a city with a fairytale old town centre. It was quite quiet in Perouge, just a few others walking down the cobbled street and a school group led by a lady in medieval dress. French school children seem to have the best fieldtrips!








We stopped for a picnic lunch in Annecy and sat beside the lake.



Storm clouds looked ominous and there were a few rumblings of thumber overhead. Dave was able to capture a bit of a comic strip about the pigeons, trying hard to eat their lunch. They would try to peck the bread and break it off, accidentally tossing it over their heads, then it all started over again!







We managed a quick scurry around to see the old town and barely made it back to the car before the storm broke and it started to rain heavily.
