We had a free day in Chamonix today. We started off with a nice walk on the pedestrian promonade that runs along the river l'Arve. The scenery was lovely.
And there were lots more paragliders
There are several cute buildings in town.
And this incredible trompe-l'œil. This really is a flat painting on the side of the building!
This is the restaurant where we had dinner last night. I love the flowers! The outside seats come with sheepskins and blankets for warmth. (We sat inside.) The dinner included a salad, a wonderful fondue, raclette (cheese is melted on a special grill and poured over cooked potatoes), and salted caramel ice cream for dessert. (Another low calorie meal!)
We window-shopped on the way back to the hotel. The French call it lèche-vitrine (literally window-licking) and I can certainly understand that when passing the pastry shops.
