First Day in Chamonix....

The last time we were on vacation with Vivynne and family was our big trip to Croatia in 2013. This time I was completely out of the loop as Vivynne arranged everything with occasional input from Jimmy. She booked us a one-week stay in a lovely wooden house in Les Houches, in the Chamonix region of the French Alps.

That first full day together, we drove into Chamonix for a walk around, some lunch and to grab some groceries. 

Although much of the city caters for upscale shopping and dining, parts are a bit grubbier..

....including this area where we found a restaurant with great vegan wraps. 

It was sad to see so-called “locks of love” had invaded this bridge in an otherwise quaint spot.
