CHAMBERY -
top - the theatre
second - the elephant statue - apparently a man from Chambery went travelling in India and this statue is to remember his travels...
third - the castle
bottom - palm trees in Chambery which is ridiculous. Palm trees are for warm climates - Chambery is anything but warm!
On Sunday we went round Chambery. It's a small town, old, pretty. In the afternoon we went 'faire du patinoire' and then we went for a hot chocolate with some other assistants - Katie who was really nice. She's from Eastbourne. Then there were 3 Italian assistants who were also really nice and Megan was there too. Again, we had to speak French. We went home to eat - omlette and salad tonight. And then went chez Megan with Jessy and Eva to watch a film - in English with French subtitles. On Monday morning I got up early to go to the station. My original plan was to get the train to Lyon and go round Lyon but it was cold and I had my suitcase so I just changed and got the TGV back to Marseille. It was a lot quicker than the ordinary train. I'm going to go to Lyon another time, probably one day during the February holidays.
