Prangins tales

Prangins is a very small village of Canton Vaud, by lake Leman.
In Prangins there are 3.666 inhabitants, a small artisan chocolate factory, a lovely baker’s shop where one can find fantastic bread ( for this reason there is often a small waiting line by the door), my favourite café for breakfast and a wonderful castle.
There are also many other fascinating little things to discover and all the silent tales which the quiet village can tell to people who feel like listening.

An early morning walk at the port...	In the Castle courtyard...	In a winter morning the castle...	Once upon a time...it was a farmhouse	The little god of grapes...
A courtyard through the arch...	The peaceful calm of the small village...	Early in the morning...	Arriving to Prangins...	Buying bread and newspapers on sunday it's a man's work....
By the castle early in the morning....	A cup of coffee in the morning sun...	Monsieur Cosandier, the flower vendor...	Who knows what we might find upstairs?	An old staircase in the village...
The first, light dusting of snow of this winter...	Walking by the castle side...	Fresh water....	10 am in the village	It was a bright morning of Spring....
The greengrocer of the village	The house of the red watering-can....	Prangins is my little Shangri-La	Another morning in the village...	La Vie En Rose
Something like a stormy spring....	Waiting for spring....	Springs is landing to Prangins....	The little house which waits for Spring...	The farm door
Village biker	Every little house has a story to tell...	From the Castle kitchen garden....	The bracing air of a winter morning...	When it snows, it snows everywhere...
White is white...	Village life....	Morning bus...	Private small kingdom	9 o’clock snowfall...
The secrtes of a courtyard....	And then the snow came back....	Precious winter sun	Angry sky over the village...	The Crow....
Let the sunshine in...	Just a village dusted with snow....	Pink frozen morning	The coffee tasted particularly good early this morning...	After the night rain
A little before nine....	Walking up to the church...	A small boat sleeping in a courtyard....	Early in the morning , in December...	The cat who really wanted to be photographed
The Castle of Prangins is ready to meet December	When the sun is flirting with a village fountain...	A sunday morning in late November...	A little snow is falling, nearly unnoticed...	Walking away from Autumn...
The castle kitchen garden	Historical link between the little Swiss village of Prangins and my Portuguese friends...	The song of the fountain	For Ingrid, who is homesick....	By the church
Down by the castle	A slight feeling of haunted houses today in Prangins....	The small green pond by the Castle	The usual morning walk....	Dear Santa, could you bring me a "Ferrari" for Christmas?
At the Baker's	The morning after the storm....	The old fountain song...	Castles have their own kitchen garden too...	And the storm left...
Rainy morning at the Townhall	The village wakes up...	Natural gate to the park	Country church	Spring prerelease
Silent dialogue between a tree and its shadow	The village baker's	The church backyard	Glorious early morning for Prangins Castle	Laundresses' gothic cathedral....
Snowy castle	Houses carnival	Cold fountain	Snow as a brand new carpet	Oh.... the castle!!!!
From the lake, in winter...	Books and door	There comes the sun....	No need of a Husky, the snow melted away!	A village courtyard
Mail Service	The white porch	The sun comes for breakfast	Chocolate factory	Just another sunrise???
The Country Postman	Going away	The best Baker's shop	Prangins café	Moody little dog

Beautiful, charming, intimate insights into the life of a small Suisse Lémanique village. But please, tell us where we can find the "small artisan chocolate factory", the "lovely baker’s shop where one can find fantastic bread", and "my favourite café for breakfast"! Chocolate, bread, and coffee - the three staples of life. (The castle I can find by myself, I think :-)

A most creative mind you have. Your talent and dedication to the Art of Photography have brought to live this wondeful location. ~V~

I think it is hard, at least for me, to photograph a place where I am from, with the ability that you have to do it. One tends of pay little or no attention to your common surroundings. If someone can present a town is you, you have that talent and you do some of the best town portraits I have ever seen. V!!

Si Nyon a son ambassadrice attitrée, j'ai bien l'impression que Prangins a décidé de profiter des moments de temps libre de cette même ambassadrice pour promouvoir son village. C'est un choix judicieux...
