We spent the morning today shopping in France at an amazing street market in the town of Divonne. Hundreds of people wondered the streets where artisans and purveyors of various goods had set up their stalls. Karen was in seventh heaven with so many and such varied shopping options all in one place. Today's pictures will show a couple of shots of the town, including one of the fountains, and a couple of pictures of the market area and a sample of the wares. Of course we ended the morning with a cafe-au-lait at an outdoor cafe.
In the afternoon we visited a Swiss chateau in the town of Coppet and had a tour of portions of the chateau that were open to the public. A slight problem because the tour guide spoke only in French, so with a recall of my high school French located deep within my cerebrum I managed to pick up enough of the story to figure out what it was all about. There was certainly a lot of French history tied up in this Swiss chateau. The pictures show the exterior of the chateau, a shot of the courtyard, and an interior shot of one of the dining rooms were guests were entertained. I was impressed with the chandelier which can be seen in the picture.
Tomorrow will be our last full day in Switzerland and we plan to relax, do a little final shopping, and of course pack. I plan to do one final post tomorrow, sans photos - sort of a wrap-up of our Swiss adventures.
