Yvoire is a small village on the French coast of Lake Leman.
It’s set exactly in front of my town, which is on the Swiss coast of the lake.
Practically Yvoire is what I see every morning from my windows, if the weather is clear enough.
It takes about 20 minutes by boat to cross the lake from Nyon (Switzerland) to Yvoire (France).
As it always happens, I rarely go there, exactly because it’s so close and I think I can get there at any time....
I went to Yvoire this time simply to show it to a dear friend who had been visiting me.
The weather was awful, a pouring and gloomy rain, so the village, which is usually invaded by tourists, was practically empty and I discovered with pleased amazement, that I really liked it under a melancholy veil of grey rain, which gave him a special charm out of time....
