Geneva Lake-法國和瑞士交界

Geneva Lake - the border between France and Switzerland
法國境可從日內瓦湖望向瑞士洛桑區 Lausanne of Switzerland in the distance viewed from France
The French famous spring water of Evian is produced at the French side of Lake Geneva called Evian-les-Bains.  The lake water is clear and blue surrounded by varieties of tulips.  There are shopping areas and a tourism board.  Heading east along the shore of the lake tourists will enter Switzerland.  The police there usually permit access to Asian motorists to pass through without inspecting their credentials.

法國名礦泉水Evian的來源地區Evian-les-Bains,位於日內瓦湖附近,湖水清澈呈淺藍色。四週邊包圍着鬱金香,區內有很多特色商舖和旅遊局提供資料。沿湖邊向東行駛將入瑞士,那裡關卡警察多數允許通過,如亞洲的駕駛者更沒有檢查他們的證件。

Seeing the mouth-watering lamb and veal on the other tables I immediately placed my order but it was too late.  Such set lunch sold out!   Only Caesar Salad was left behind, looking delicious all the same.  In general, in French restaurants the quality and layout of food in dishes will never be disappointing.

眼看著令人垂涎的羊肉和牛肉在其他餐枱上,但當我訂之際為時已晚。這樣的午餐套餐售罄!只有凱撒沙拉,幸好賣相也不錯。一般情況下,在法國餐廳的食品質量和佈局總是不會是令人失望。
一間普通餐廳,也有如此水準,
沙律連Latte咖啡都只是EUR8
Even an ordinary restaurant is up to the high standard.
A meal with a Latte charges EUR8 only
Meillerie, France -- a paradise for gourmets before entering Switzerland.
Along the shore of the lake heading east following Route Nationals D1005 I arrived at Meillerie.  On the left down along a road there was a rather renowned lakeside restaurant.  Dining there you would not feel lonesome because you would be accompanied by various kinds of birds.  Of course, bird flu was not a threat there!

Meillerie,法國 - 進入瑞士之前的美食天地。
沿著日內瓦湖的 Evian-les-Bains向東邊路線Nationals D1005來到Meillerie。靠左側向下駛,有一個相當著名的湖畔餐廳。在這裡即使獨個兒享受美食,也不會覺得寂寞,因為各種鳥類陪伴,當然少不了天鵝小姐。不用怕禽流感威脅!
標致207房車 Peugeot 207 Sedan



To have a hired car repaired one does not have to pay anything if it is a matter of mechanical problem.  And in fact the rent charged includes repair expenses.  In the repair centre I was in a new 207 Peugeot was displayed costing EUR8990.  However, I heard the new generation in France start renting cars instead of buying for repair was free and they could change car as they liked.
標致新車價錢為港幣8萬至9萬
A new-designed Peugeot costs HK$80000 to90000
屋頂的裝飾設計也跟迴旋處統一

每區的迴旋處設計各有特色

如遇到壞車怎辦?

機械故障問題是不必支付任何費用,而實際上租車費內已包括維修費用和第三保險。
壞車時,第一時間不是找租車公司,而是找該車品牌的車廠。
我在維修中心見到一架新的標致型號207,價錢不太貴,為歐元8,990。不過,聽說新一代法國人開始租用汽車,而不是買車,他們認為可以隨意轉換汽車款式。


The parking is near the lake

Lunching at the lakeside one enjoys the company of swans


在湖邊午餐的最好選擇當然是魚扒吧
At lakeside fish steak is a good choice at lunch

天鵝也在開餐!   The swans are having lunch!

瑞士人也很喜歡在這區午膳。
他們很友善地問我是否需要幫助拍照
The Swiss are fond of coming here for lunch.
They are so courteous and ask if they can assist me in taking photos

這裡的雀鳥很懂得找好地方生活,多自由!   These birds know how to pick the best place to enjoy life.  How free are they!
