Fireworks and lakes

On Saturday July 21st, Anaïs and I were at Bourget du Lac. There was an event that people liking the Middle Age should appreciate: la Médiévales des Dames. This was to celebrate an historical event where ambassadors from the Milan's Duke went to this place to ask for a marriage with the daughter of Amédée VIII, Savoie's Duke. There were activities and reenactments. The day ended up with fireworks launched from the Bourget lake.

August 4th, we did it again, but this time at Annecy: we assisted to the Fête du Lac. Fireworks were together with music and laser lights. The show lasted around 45 minutes. There were more than 40 000 persons. I really enjoyed all these moments. To go back to Annemasse, we had to wait until 2:00 in the morning.

August 11th, the same kind of event happened at Geneva. This time, I was in Lyon...

When I will find my pictures, I will post them.

Holidays in South of France

We celebrated the New Year with our neighbors and Mohamed at Gruissan, near Narbonne. Therefore, Anaïs and I decided to spend our holidays in this region.

We chose to stay 3 nights in a chambre d'hôtes, near Perpignan. If you do not know what this concept is, please, leave a comment. We picked Le Magnolia at Ille sur Têt. We were warmly welcomed by Hélène and Pierre! They shared with us their knowledge about the region and they pointed us the sites to visit. We had one dinner with them and it was excelent! If you go around this place, I recommend to stop over there.

When we were at Ille sur Têt, we visited the Rodès' castle. We saw the Serrabonne abbey and the Montalba village, among other things. We also went to Perpignan and to Collioure. To sum up, we did a brief tour to the French Catalonia. We enjoyed it a lot! We did not see everything, of course, but the point was also to have some rest!

When we came back, we were thinking of stopping at Toulouse, but it was a long way to go. We went to Montpellier instead.

As usual, pictures are on Flickr. To see them, check this page.
