Day Four France - Lyon to Annecy

Today is Thursday September 29. Day Four of our visit to France.  We were on the road from the hotel at 9:15 this morning.  Our objective was go to Bernachon’s.  Bernachon’s is rated as Lyon’s best pastry shop.  It was fabulous.  Mary and I could not resist.  Several pictures below. 







After Bernachon’s, it was off to Aix-Les-Bains.  What a pleasant surprise and treat.  What a beautiful small city.  Lots of very nice big hotels and lots of nice places to eat.  There is even a 4-hr boat ride on the lake but we decided that we couldn't be in Aix-Les-Bains for more than a couple of hours.  Mary and I had lunch in one of the pleasant squares.  Here are pictures of Aix-Les-Bains






Note on the lower right of this picture the SNCF train station.  Quite convenient for the train travelers.  Very close to the main action in Aix-Les-Bains. 



Now we’re off to Cruseilles (rhymes with Marseille) where we will be spending two nights.  What we found out is that the Chateau de Avenieres is way up into the hills above Cruseilles.  Here are pictures from today of the hotel and our room.
