Here's a little tour around our town. While we've been in our new place for over a month, I think we are just starting to get settled in. So this is Challex, the little hillside town between the Saleve and Jura mountains and above the Rhone. It sits beside the Swiss vineyards and French farm fields and forests. So far it's been sunny and we're basking in the early spring, inhaling all the lilac and magnolia.
Our 300 year old (this year) village house is in the oldest part of town, between the church and the boulangerie. Photos to come as soon as the wisteria blooms and I get things a little more organized.
Rural charm.
Around town.
A little more.
Plenty of cats nearby until I get one of my own...maybe in the fall.
Toward the river.
Headed out of town.
Overlooking neighboring Dardagny from the vineyards.
I suppose that's a start. It is an exciting time, everything greening rapidly, fields filling with colors, trees heavy with new life, and the constant thrill of birdsong. Bienvenue à Challex and to the exuberance of spring!
