All of the following pictures are from a beautiful ville called La Roche Sur Foron which is just south of Annemasse, the town Kristen is in now. It is north of Albertville, where the Olympics were held in 1992 (think Kristi Yamaguchi-figure skating Gold). These towns are not far from her first area, Chambery, and are considered the Haute-Savoie area of France near the Alps. She can see Mont Blanc from where she lives. It's hard to choose if one town is more beautiful than another. Annecy, (see earlier blog photos from May), is very popular for French skiers. During the Christmas season, these Alps towns become alive with the decor of the season and many tourists come for the skiing of course.
