Bonjour mes amis! Cameron, Hillary, and Harry arrived in Chambéry Saturday, April 23, to visit Lee and me for Easter week. It has been so fun to see the discovery of this region "through a child's eyes". Harry was delighted to discover the tunnels which allowed travelers to pass through the many mountains of this region. He saw cows and mountains for the first time. He experienced many "firsts". He took his first "boat ride" around Geneva's Lac Léman and spent Easter in Annecy with a train ride and a ride on the carousel. The parks in France are such a source of enjoyment for families so we have spent much time exploring the parks. We have had picnics and have enjoyed the swings, fountains, flowers, birds, and the beautiful weather in Chambéry. We have discussed how many French and European towns were built so that the parks were the center of recreational activities. People relax in the parks, have lunch in the parks, and basically enjoy each other in the parks. I have noticed that many students enjoy time between classes at Lycée Vaugelas in the nearby park. Harry and his grandfather have become connoisseurs of "la glace"(ice cream!) It has been such a pleasure to watch Harry savor the "simple things" and enjoy the "good life" in this delightful region of the Alps.
Mme. Wallace
