The old town is beautiful and based on a network of canals with colonnaded streets running alongside.
It was mainly built from 1535 when a Protestant Reformation in Geneva resulted in all the Bishops being kicked out and they were given refuge here. They obviously brought a lot of cash with them as the building program was massive, you never see a thin Bishop though do you! ๐๐
The market was typically French, packed with food, people and delicious aromas. I think this must be the best boucherie as the queue stretched around the block.
Oh yes with a little bit of salad and tiny loaf of bread
Well after a suitable digestif pause we again got the bikes out and set off anti clockwise around the lake.
The lake has a different feel at this end starting in the town then becoming very residential but still with public access to the lake shore.
The bike track is fantastic all the way around it is two lanes wide and even has regular zebra crossings for people to cross
Reminds me of "WALKING DOWN THE MANNY ROAD" sorry you have to be a Wanderers fan to get it, don't you Paul.
In the evening they light up fountains on the lake which look spectacular.
