Today we visited the Lac du Bourget. It is the largest natural lake in France and the deepest as well. Unlike Lac d'Annecy, it has never been known to freeze in the winter. The waters of this lake abound with fish and sometimes there are violent windstorms. The lake used to extend northward to the Grand Colombier Mountain and was supplied by the Rhône. Today it is separated from the river by the Chautagne marsh but is still linked to the Rhône by the Savières Canal. The views around the lake were breathtaking. There were many restaurants with views of the lake. Lee and I played mini-golf (miniature golf) with our French friend Paul-Loup. It was très difficile!

What a perfect spot. I wish it would look like this in February when we travel - still up for a visit from us? The Inn has been incredibly busy, for which we are very thankful, but we are having fun planning our vacation. Hve fun and we'll be in touch soon.
