France 2008

Talloires, 26-28 June

		We went through more mountain country between Briançon and Talloires. *
		Talloires is on Lake Annecy, and we took the ferry that goes clockwise around the lake three times daily. *
		*
		*
		*
		The lakeside château at Duingt. *
		*
		View approaching the ferry dock at Annecy. *
		A swan near the dock. *
		The river out of Lake Annecy flows through the town. This old fortress looks attractive, but it housed a rather dull museum. *
		There were plenty of visitors to the town. †
		*
		View of the lake from near the ferry terminal. †
		†
		Looking towards the mountains, with Château de Menthon-Saint-Bernard prominent in late afternoon. *
		Entry staircase at Château de Menthon-Saint-Bernard. *

Then off through more mountains to Spiez in Switzerland.
