Trip in Switzerland : Evolène (and a recap of the week)

Last Sunday, Claire and Momo celebrated the 20th birthday of their favorite nephew over Vevey.

The view on the Lake of Geneva is magnificent ; when they arrived, the weather was beautiful, then it became stormy. Look at the third photo, do you see how the color of the water changed ?

As we told you, Claire had a great big migraine on Monday. On Tuesday, she had more or less recovered, and took care of the garden with Momo.

On Wednesday, Claire and Momo went to Evolène. The godmother of Claire is Swiss but lives in Paris ; she comes every year to recharge in the pretty village of Evolène. To arrive there, it’s necessary to rise in the mountain over Sion, in the Val d’Hérens.

Halfway, we can see the pyramids of Euseigne : these curious cones were formed by the degradation of moraines further to the last glaciation, during the successive retreats of the glaciers which were there between -10000 and -80000 years.

Finally, it’s the arrival to the village ; its typical character was protected, and you need to walk there to appreciate all its charm. The landscape surrounding is magnificent, and multiple walks are to be planned to discover it.

On Monday, we’ll show you one of the most extraordinary places of Switzerland : good weekend !

Wordless Wednesday (or almost)


We spent a wonderful Sunday and we wanted to tell you about it on Monday, but a sneaky migraine attacked Claire on Sunday evening and left her KO until Monday evening. This *** migraine joined to a vicious gastro-intestinal bug, and our human spent the night from Sunday to Monday as well as whole Monday to have migraine, to have nausea, and to vomit from time to time. Feel reassured, she gets better ! We’ll tell you all this on Friday !
