A Week in Suisse Romande

Random images from a very pleasant week spent in the Francophone region of Switzerland, by the shores of Lake Léman. I brought home with me memories of picturesque towns by the lake, elegant old quarters in the city of Geneva, fresh air, healthy food, good conversations: all elements that made a late Spring break a real delight.

:: A Day Trip to Yvoire ::	A plateful of quotations	Charlie Chaplin is remembered	Did the dish run away with the spoon?
Welcoming window, 2	Welcoming window, 1	An enthusiastic photographer	A temptation to buy and eat croissants
For polite, literate, well-mannered dogs	Swiss icons	Relaxing in a busy square	King Gondebaud finds a quiet spot in an alcove in Geneva
The onion shaped golden domes	The sloping street with the tall graceful houses	The lady and her dog take an afternoon break	Christie's, in a discreet side street
Maison Tavel	The Old Arsenal, Geneva	The Swiss are renowned for their work ethic - was it a gift from the angels?	Eve waiting for Adam?
Sleepy ducks relax on a cobbled slope in Rousseau Island	Jean-Jacques Rousseau	The famous “jet d’eau” at Geneva, one of the largest water fountains in the world, on a grey overcast day	The neat handwriting
Keeping an eye on the chevalier	The silly swan	The skeletal trees overlook the lakeside walk	Tulips that love the lakeshore
The lady of the lake	The delicate light before twilight	The last of the evening sun falls on the turrets	Looking down at Lake Léman.jpg
