Hey folks,
Just a little post to share with you some photographies I have been able to shoot during a usual week in France.
Chanaz is a well-known location in France where you can rent a canoe and go through the canals to reach the Lac du Bourget.
"Lac du Bourget is a lake located in France in the west of the department of Savoie in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region."
"A post-glacial lake of the Jura massif, Lac du Bourget was formed after the last Würm glaciation, about 19,000 years ago, by the retreat of the great alpine glacier of the Quaternary. It is the largest natural lake of glacial origin located entirely in France, with most of Lake Geneva in Switzerland."
"Its current name, linked to the municipality bordering its southern part, was only used from the 13th century. Artistically, the lake is particularly linked to the presence of the poet Alphonse de Lamartine, who wrote poems there, including Le Lac dedicated to the woman he loved, Julie Charles, during his stay in October 1816."
"As far as tourism is concerned, the lake has many beaches along its shores, leisure centres and numerous tourist sites, the most famous being the royal abbey of Hautecombe where many sovereigns of the House of Savoy rest. The most important lakeside town in terms of population is Aix-les-Bains, one of the most famous French spa towns, with just under 30,000 inhabitants and which hosts a pop-rock festival, Musilac, near the shores of the lake."
