Then we had a long drive day to to the lakeside town of#annecy , dramatically situated between lake and mountains, it's a medieval spectacle and a summer getaway for the French and the Swiss locals. We enjoyed free time for lunch in#littlevenice , aptly named for the network of canals criss-crossing through the Old Town. We just grabbed some stuff from the grocery store and had a little picnic by the lake and people watched.
Honestly, this is one of my favorite towns in all of France. I wish we had more time then an afternoon here. I actually got a bit tanned!
We stayed at the Park Hotel Grenoble Mgallery, Grenoble.
@silverfox40 - Agree - I feel like you don't get to truly experience the culture if you try to squish a bunch of countries all into a few weeks though you'll definitely hit some big items off your list!
I spent 2 weeks in France and 2 weeks is clearly not too long in France, 2 weeks are clearly not too long for most European countries. It's actually a huge mistake to rush it down and try to visit as many countries as possible within a couple of weeks. This seems more achievable, I'll dedicate more time in future. Great trip details
@stephwood - Thanks so much! We truly had a trip of a lifetime and hit everything we wanted to do! We were considering renting a car but some of the toll prices were just as much as to fill up your car (our tour guide was saying 100 E at the time). We would recommend to make sure to take that into consideration for your budget!
Such an amazing itinerary, I'd love to hire a car and spend the month exploring the country. Seems like great timescales to explore these areas well. Such variety too which makes for a great trip!
What a shame about your altitude sickness!!!!!
Sounds like a fairytale of a trip! The truffle hunting sounds super cool too!!!
