Evian-les-Bains - water, anyone?




Bonjour mes amis! Yesterday, Wednesday afternoon, I had no classes so Lee and I headed towards Lake Geneva or Lac Léman. We stopped on the French side of Lac Léman in Evian-les-Bains which is a lovely town, known for its bottled mineral water. We had a delicious lunch of filet de perche and saumon, beside the lake. The best was, after lunch, when Lee found the gelato and two comfortable chairs by the lake. He may have found the perfect retirement location! Evian-les-Bains is located in the northern region of Haute-Savoie. What is so interesting is that Lac Léman is located on the border between France and Switzerland, so you can be in a town on the French side, yet take a boat across the lake into the Swiss side. As we relaxed by the lake in Evian-les-Bains, we could see Lausanne, Switzerland across the lake, in the distance.
