Bonjour le monde,
We arrived successfully in France!! Caught the TGV (very fast train- 240+km) from Lyon to Chambery.
Serge, picked us up from the train station. We visited a couple of local stores (including the French Bunnings).
St Piérre Albigny is a beautiful little town (photos to prove this will follow soon). It is tucked in a circle of mountains with views to the snow capped French Alps.
Sue and Serge cooked hachi parmentier (a traditional Savoie dish- mashed potato, onion and minced beef). Before the main meal we had an aperitif ... white wine with berry crême(blackberry, cherry and violet)... one could get used to these!!! After the main meal we shared some local breads and cheeses.... with some red wine. The bread (baguetté) from the bakery across the street (15 paces away) was beautiful.
Slept very well and woke up rested.... opened the windows to view the Alps. St Piérre Albigny is beautiful!!
Hi, Have been posting comments but can't see them on blog. Try facebook - much easier to use.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the photos although I can imagine the views over the French countryside - sublime!
