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

Like most lake towns in France, Yvoire dates back to pre-Roman times, but it is mostly remembered for its status and importance during medieval times as a port town on Lake Geneva. You can still see the medieval castle which sits near the Yvoire port. Today it is very touristy but still lovely and quaint and worth an afternoon to visit. It’s only about 30 minutes from Geneva and about an hour or so from Annecy. Here’s an overview video of this lovely French lake village. If you want to see it yourself, then join us on our summertime French Alps Tours. Yvoire is our first stop on the tour.
Thanks, Lee. It was a pleasure having you on the tour. You’re such a good traveler and great company. I (we) would be thrilled to have you come again. Happy Holidays. Cynthia
