One summer in the 1980s, I was fortunate to attend college in Talloires, France. It is on Lac Annecy in the Haute-Savoie (French Alps). It is by far the most beautiful place I have ever been. I'd like to take you on a tour.
This photo (yes, it's a photograph!!) is from a Talloires facebook group I follow. The light there is incredible, very similar to the light of Cape Cod.
The whole region is incredibly beautiful.
The school itself is located in a 1000 year-old Priory.
I lived in Veyrier du Lac, which was a quick bus ride from Talloires. Here are some photos from that part of the lake. The family I stayed with lives somewhere in this photo.
I would love to go back there one day.
