From Thonon-les-Bains Haute-Savoie I headed to Chambre d'hote of France along 1490 de la Guilletiere, 38850 Chirens.

Those guest houses were unexpectedly delighting!

Most French people are fond of keeping dogs, whom they regard as members of the family.  In the guest house I stayed at a rather big hairy dog was kept.  Though it was very big it was still a baby puppy.  All day long it was fondling with dolls.  Its master treated it as his kid.  Once it was out of sight in the big sitting room he would feel uneasy and look for it everywhere.

由Thonon-les-Bains Haute--Savoie往1490 Route de la Guilletière, 38850 Chirens, France的Chambre d'hôte進發。意想不到如此美麗和舒適的民宿。

很多法國人喜歡養狗，視牠們如親人一樣，這間民宿亦同樣養了一頭毛毛狗，體型需大，但只有兩歲大的BB狗，整天只追着毛公仔玩，主人不准牠離開自住屋內的大廳，當主人一旦不見牠便到處找，視牠如自己的小孩。

   

我選了不用高速而走山路，可以經過美麗的湖。

I prefer the mountain trails to the highways so as to pass by many beautiful lakes

由Chambre d'hôte去湖Lac de Paladru只需15分鐘。

From Chambre d'hote to Lac de Paladru takes only 15 min.

Lac de Paladru, France

That guest house was so comfortable that I decided to stay there for two days and allow more time to plan my next itinerary.  I was not the only guest for there were three other groups of visitors.
   
I was alone by myself.  A couple from Germany brought with them bikes together with their car planning to cycle around the scenic areas.  The next day brought along an old French couple and a young French couple with a little girl. 
When I was commenting on the worrying public order of Paris the young couple instinctively gave me their phone number and told me to call them whenever I had any problem in Paris.  How kind and considerate they were!
The old gentleman was happy to talk about the merits of Chinese tea while having breakfast.  "It's really very wholesome! "

因為這裡使我感到太舒適了，所以決定連續住兩天，也好讓自己安排往後的行程。

今次這民宿共有四組人在不同時間入住，我是獨自一個；其中一對由德國來的夫婦，車連單車用作遊山玩水；第二日多一對年輕法國夫婦帶同一個小女孩；另一對法國老夫婦。當我談到巴黎治安不好時，那年輕夫婦的男士主動給我電話號碼，以便我在巴黎有需要時找他，很友善啊！
而那個年長夫婦的伯伯全個早餐都在談論中國茶有多好，如何有益健康等等。

房間裝飾很別緻，左上角：房間內私人洗手間，浴室和厠所。The rooms are elegantly decorated: top left -- the private toilet and bathroom

車由最右的綠色門進入，經過砂地泊在最左的空位。The car enters through the green door on the right, through the sand-covered area, and parks on the left

 

隨意找個境都如此詩意，可見法國畫家不是作畫而是把事實畫出來。

At any direction at random a poetic and picturesque scene can be found ---
 therefore, all French artists just paint what they see and need not fabricate anything that does not exist.

在房間向外望如此美 From the room beautiful scenes can be viewed

同樣是房間窗外望，密雲都美。Even the dense clouds look gorgeous!
