Today we took the train to Annemasse, which is half an hour away and one of the bigger cities closest to us. Annemasse has loads of shopping and restaurants and young people so I think we’ll come back to shop and go out and meet people who aren’t over 50. We had to go to Annemasse to get to Thonon-les-Bains, which is another half an hour away. It’s absolutely beautiful. We spent the day walking around and stopping at little cafes before we took the last train home. Normally everything in Bonneville shuts down around 8pm, but as we were walking home, we saw our friend from the mayor’s office at one of the bars. She owns it with her husband and we had wine with them and their friends (also over 50) and chatted about our days. We are quite popular with the middle aged set (aka the entire town) of Bonneville.
Here are some pictures of Thonon:
Typical rue dans la ville. There were some chains but mostly little antiques, clothing, and chocolate shops!
View of the town hall. I love how all French mayor’s offices have flowerboxes!
The whole town sits on the lake – you can take a furnicular down to the shore. This is Lac Leman – Geneva is far to the left and Zurich is far to the right.
No, it was not cold enough to wear fur.
