• French Alps Tours

  

  Join us on a small group tour of the French Alps June 4-11 or September 3-10, 2011. I designed this tour to include the best of the region. Wander the Medieval town of Annecy, nicknamed the Venice of the French Alps, and take a boat ride on its crystal blue lake. Do you like pampering yourself on your vacations, then why not spend an afternoon at the Aix les Bains thermal baths inside your lakeside hotel? Are you the adventurous type? Then take a horseback ride in the Alps or fly through the trees at the High Ropes Adventure. Are you a foodie? Taste local chocolates, cheeses, wines and walnut oils. But don't just taste it - cook it too at a cooking class taught by one of Grand Bornand's best chefs and restaurateurs. Are you a history buff? Then satisfy your curiosity at Lyon's Old Town or Vienne's Roman Temple and Forum. Or just enjoy watching the hang gliders and sunset at a catered outdoor dinner on the top of a mountain overlooking Annecy's lake. See you in the French Alps! www.french-alps-tours.com

Fete des Lumieres / Festival of Lights in Lyon, France 2009

Written by admin| No Comments »

[Translate]

This festival of lights takes place the weekend of the 8th of December every year. The entire city is turned into a light festival with ordinary buildings transformed into theatre. This year, 2009, reflected the difficulty of the global economic downturn and world climate crisis, in contrast to last year’s theme of bright colors and children’s innocence.  This is the first of three videos of the Fete and focuses on the Beaux Arts show. The other two videos can be seen at: http://www.american-in-france.com/?paged=4
