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 !

Some of you understood that Claire and Momo were soon going to go on holiday during several days, and you worried to know who would take care of us : no panic !

Claire and Momo never leave in summer, there are very too much things to do in the garden. Furthermore, the rare times when they leave, they prefer seasons more quiet and less hot as autumn or spring. Their summer holidays consist of an alternation of one-day getaways and of “garden” or « friends” days, according to their desire.

Momo is still not on holiday, but as this beautiful place is close from our home, it’s the first one we’ll show you : the zen garden of Aigle.

This garden was born thanks to the photographer Benoît Lange and thanks to his passion for Asia. Claire likes very much her relaxing atmosphere as well as the disorienting contrast between this small piece of Asia and surrounding “homegrown» mountains. It’s inhabited by several species of batrachians, tortoises, fishes, and shelters more than 140 species of vegetables, among which 120 come from Asia. Enjoy the visit !
