Bonjour mes amis! Today Lee and I continued our Wednesday afternoon adventures - we decided to travel northeast into the heart of the Haute-Savoie Alps region. We couldn't believe the snow-capped Alps in September. Also, it was quite cold. We were wearing winter jackets and this morning in Chambéry we woke up to 45 degree temperatures - Brrrrr! My walk to school is becoming a run on these cold days!! We started our ascent into the Alps and ended in Megève, a beautiful French ski resort. For lunch we had typical Savoyard fare - boeuf in a cream sauce with potatoes and red wine. Our waiter told us that the population of Megève grows from 4,000 to 45,000 during ski season. Émile Allais, the 1937 world ski champion founded the "French skiing method" which lives on in his famed ski school in Megève. Megève's forested slopes under rounded mountain peaks provide a charming setting for its village.
