M and I had a little free time so we took some day trips out. We visited a place called Montreux the day before. It was a pretty long drive from where we stayed at Ferney but it was worth it. We visited the Chateau de Chillon- not the best castle I've been to but I still loved it. Then M took me up the Alps on a rickety old train. It was Les Rochers-de-Naye. There we visited the Alpin Garden, which only opens in summer I think. The view was breath-taking. This is a panorama taken by him:
Today, we went to Yvoire to look. The weather turned rainy so we did not spend long but I must say- it's beautiful!!! It's a small French town but it's so pretty, totally my kind of ideal holiday destination. So medieval and quaint. I would have loved to sit there sipping a coffee and watch the world go by. Unfortunately, due to the bad weather, we only rushed through the Le Jardin des Cinq Sens (garden of 5 senses) and grabbed an ice cream on the way back to the car. Will definitely have to find an excuse to go back there!!
