Join us on a small group tour of the French Alps on June 8-15th, 2013. 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. Are you the adventurous type? Then parasail tandem off a mountain or take a cable car up to a 13,000 foot mountain near Mont Blanc. Are you a foodie? Taste local chocolates, cheeses, wines and hazelnut oils. Eat at two award-winning restaurants and have your private chef cook meals made with local products. Are you a history buff? Then satisfy your curiosity at Lyon's Old Town or Vienne's Roman Temple and excavated Roman city. Or just enjoy watching the parasailers and sunset while enjoying an outdoor aperitif on the top of a mountain overlooking Annecy's lake. See you in the French Alps! www.french-alps-tours.com

Bernard’s friends gave us a trip to Grasse for our wedding gift that included two gift certificates to make our own cologne and perfume. The normal cost for the event is 40 euros each plus 12 euros for the bottle (if you want to buy a nice bottle versus the ugly brown ones with no spray top). After experiencing the event, I think 40 euros is a good price for 2 or 3 hours of entertainment plus some nice perfume that you created yourself. It was quite interesting and educational as well. Here’s a video of the experience. The video is mostly photos since filming was prohibited.
Our technician was great. He has an American girlfriend (who is a Senator’s daughter) and he wants to move to Los Angeles to start his own Fragrance Studio. Brilliant idea! I’ve never seen anything like this in the U.S. and this would be a big hit in L.A.
I am looking for a wedding present for my friends and was thinking of giving a gift certificate to make their our own cologne or perfume in Grasse, any ideas on where i could order that in advance?
Yep, here’s where we went: http://www.galimard.com/html/1sommaire.html They have some English on their website and have links and email addresses for making your own perfume. Cynthia
