Trip to Annecy - around and about











Roger and Suzanne have run their small hotel for 20 years, were a font of knowledge, and looked after us well. Roger, also a biker, led two rides and took us to places that we would not otherwise have found. First was up many very demanding hairpin bends to a plateau where we enjoyed a leisurely lunch, also joined by Suzanne who came by car. It was a tiny road but the prize of the view and location was well worth it, and character building into the bargain! Roger related a famous story of French Resistance fighters who held the plateau during WWII over lunch. The ride down, via another route, was less demanding, but the scenery still quite stunning.
