Leaving Annecy & Mont Veyrier: Le Col des Contrebandiers – Smugglers’ Pass

Posted in Annecy, Blogs, Cycling, France, Lac d'Annecy, Moving, Things to do on July 31, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

Well, that’s it. I left Annecy for the last time on Wednesday. It’s not so much a farewell to France (not yet at least) since I’ll be spending the next month in France on holiday, but it is a farewell to my friends there of course, as well as a farewell to a kind of [...]

A Stolen Blog Subject: Premature Nostalgia

Posted in Annecy, France, Moving, Work on July 25, 2008 | 3 Comments »

It’s that time of year again: time to say goodbye. Today was my last day of work here in Annecy (celebrated along with 3 other students leaving the company by bringing in food and drinks – I took in banana bread, the ’secret’ recipe (secret because I haven’t named the website where I found [...]

Sunday Evening Cycle

Posted in Annecy, Cycling, France, Lac d'Annecy, Weekend on July 21, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

After a relatively busy weekend (people to see, bars to visit…), I wasn’t really expecting to have much of substance to post at the end of the weekend – except for the following video which is pretty funny.

However, that all changed when I decided to go for a cycle round/through town [...]

Seythenex is a village just next to Faverges in Haute-Savoie, [...]

Addendum to my previous post…

Posted in Annecy, Cycling, France, Things to do on July 1, 2008 | 1 Comment »

It was brought to my attention that the third picture in my post below gives the impression that there is a bridge crossing the gorges. It’s actually a walkway that sort of hugs/clings to the side of the gorge on just one side, but I didn’t explain that clearly. Either way, I realised [...]

Les Gorges du Fier

Posted in Annecy, Cycling, France, Things to do on June 30, 2008 | 2 Comments »

Yesterday I decided to visit les Gorges du Fier and, if possible, the Chateau de Montrottier (which is just next to the gorges). They’re about 10km from Annecy, so it’s not too far to go by bike. It’s slightly uphill at the beginning, but still reasonable, then it’s flat-ish until the last 1km [...]

La Cremerie du Lac

On the edge of the old town of Annecy is a little cheese shop called La Cremerie du Lac. They sell dairy products, primarily cheese although also eggs, milk, butter etc., as well as wine and jam. They have a wide selection of cheeses, local (e.g. Reblochon, Tomme, etc.), other French cheeses (e.g. [...]
