It’s friday, it’s friday, we gonna party with Beth’s Postcard Friendship Friday. After an exotic trip to Morocco last week, I realised that I never shared postcards from my places, meaning, the city I belong too. Let’s go for it starting with the present moment. …Meet Chambery  located in the Rhone-Alps into the heart of the French Alps.  I leave here since 2010 and it wasn’t my first choice, Idon’t like being far from Paris, but I had to be near the thermal baths and needed moutains for my heath. The city is close to the number one destination in the world for  winter sports. This is definitely the best mountain ski destination, people come from UK, Belgium, Netherland during the ski season with 4 airports providing efficient shuttle services to the ski resorts, winter is a busy season around here, because a lot of travellers who take trains stop by Chambéry to reach the ski resorts by taxi. During summer time, Chambéry is truly a pedestrian’s paradise, I have four lacs and activities around water to enjoy, and if I want to, I can take a train and go to Italy, one hour to reach Torino and less to go to Geneva in Switzerland. That the reason why, I really don’t know Chambery that much, I’m not often there, but when I’m there, the places you see on the postcard are my places.

You can’t miss on the postcard and in the city the famous Elephants Fountain, where four elephant busts stand proudly in the middle of the street. I love thoses elephants and the bus station is near, so I see them two days a week. You can also see my favorite place to take a drink outside and the famous castle « le château des ducs de Savoie » former residence of the Counts and Dukes of Savoy. The château was built from the 13th C onwards up to the present day. It now houses the police headquarters and Savoie’s General Council. When I want to be alone during my lunch time to read, I go there, the stairs are rarely crowded,  it’s ideal when the weather is nice.

The first day of summer, we celebrate the music today all around the country here, I will too, but for now, you can also share your card by joining us right here Postcard Friendship Friday!

Happy friday friendship !
