A nice journey
zutterjp4826 April 2023
I enjoyed this journey in Haute-Savoie: so many nice places (Abondance, Yvoire, Sixt-Fer à Cheval or Avoriaz) and so many interesting activities.

At Combloux Claude Chambel is is making ski mountaineering: first the effort of climbing the snowy slopes but later the pleasure to go down the snowy slopes.

Nicolas Collet who has come from Paris is now fishing guide in Abondance.

Diane Farah is pilot of Aérocime (ski plane): she makes flights above Megève and the Mont-Blanc.

I appreciate the zoom about Yvoire: the photographer Aurore Legay enjoys taking pictures of Yvoire in winter (the medieval village, the garden of the castle): Matthieu Duflos is one of the last fishermen in Yvoire : he fishes mainly perchs and roaches and gives to Jean-Loïc Selo , a jeweler of Saint-Gingolph, the scales of the roaches and Jean-Loïc produces pearls with the nacre of the scales.

Some words about cheese: in the Grand Bornand the farmers produce reblochon fermier and the chef Philippe Carteron prepares for his guests "croûte au Reblochon with white wine and mustard".

Philippe Paccard is tuning the bells of Châtel because he belongs to a family of bell makers. At Morillon Maurice Michaud is wood carver and produces cow bells.

At Samoens the carpenter is promoting the paret, a luge used by the children to down the snowy slopes.

In the Vally of Morzine Patrick Bon is making alphorns.

Finally we meet Rémy Coste and Aurélie Delattre , two mushers who are training for the Savoie-Mont-Blanc dog sleds race.

I enjoyed the encounters of Jérôme with Jean-Yves Fredriksen (paragliding), with Guérin Boulais (the Abondance cheese producer) , with Yoan Mogenier (the snow shoes excursion), with Gérard Issartel (hot air balloon flight), with Marie Baud ( horse-drawn carriage in Avoriaz), with Marion Woehl and Florent (the fondue in the bread), with Nathalie Berguerand and Thierry Berguerand (the ski collector), with Denise Rey (the artist) and with Michèle Jacot : very nice encounters with very nice French men and women.
