I feel so lucky that we had the opportunity this year to live in France; we've been able to see so much. While my mom was visiting, we took a couple of day trips close to Grenoble and we saw some beautiful places. It was so nice to enjoy the countryside too. We got some great pictures of Gabriella, she was in a great mood the whole time!!
Our first trip was an hour train to ride to Aix-les-bains. Which was a beautiful little city on Lac du Bourget. It was a great trip and lots of fun to be around the lake, we were lucky the weather was perfect.

The tulips were so pretty.

Next we drove about an hour outside of Grenoble to the middle of no-where to see the Palais du Facteur Cheval. Which is a palais that a local postman built in the late 1800's to the early 1900's. It took him 33 years to build it, every day he would pick up rocks along and his route and add on to his palais.

Next we drove to Lake Geneva, but we stayed on the French side this time. We drove along the lake and stopped in Yvoire, Evain, and Thonon. It was so pretty, I think I could be happy staying there for a long time!
