Last summer a baby unicorn fell into my
lap.
What I mean is a really great opportunity came
my way in the form of a freelance writing assignment for Salomon, which is located in Annecy, France, near the French-Swiss border.
So, to further milk the unicorn metaphor, I hopped on its
back and off I went.
Annecy has been described as the "Pearl of the French Alps", which in my humble opinion, is a bit of an understatement. Annecy Lake, Annecy le Vieux
(the old city) and the nearby village of Talloires are all beyond stunning.
The lakeside experience in particular is mind-blowingly gorgeous – so gorgeous that I felt that I had been dropped into a Conde Naste
Traveller magazine center spread. On that that picture-perfect July afternoon, it seemed I had entered into some sort of Alpine dream: a cloudless blue sky and a sparkling lake surrounded by rugged peaks, complete with tanning sun worshippers.
If you are headed to France anytime soon – check this place out. You won’t be
disappointed.
And if a unicorn comes knocking at your door – hop on and go for the ride.
