'As a group of British tourists was leaving the cafe, my wife noticed it was actually tennis star Andy Murray’s entourage!' - Jeremy Koo

After being in Paris for a week, my wife and I took a train to visit Annecy. It is a little quaint town that is compact and best explored on foot, so that you can see more of the marvellous medieval town, as well as the fortresses. But for us, this was the best way to visit little French towns and villages. We slowly walked around and discovered new things and tried good food.
The next day, we got a rental car and drove the scenic route for about an hour to Chamonix, the alpine gateway town to Mont Blanc. En route, however, we took a short detour to Geneva to see the famous Jet d’Eau fountain on Lake Geneva.Chamonix is a year-round destination – great skiing in winter and amazing hiking in the summer. It is the starting point for the Tour du Mont Blanc – the 170km-long alping hiking trail through France, Italy, and Switzerland.
After that, we checked out the rest of Chamonix on foot. We opted to have dinner there, before driving back to Annecy. As we were there in late spring, sunset was around 9pm. We went back to Nice in the afternoon. From there, we took a short train ride to explore a charming town called Antibes.
