La vieille ville est magnifique. J'y suis née et j'y ai vécu quelques années. C'est loin maintenant. Faudra que je pense à un retour aux sources un de ces quatre. Ca serait "bonnard" ! ;-)

Lucy said...

Such pretty photos - I love the vast bright blue skies, makes a change from all the grey here in London!

The Sketched Chef said...

Beautiful pictures !
I have never been to Geneva, but it looks so great there.

Cicero Sings said...

Sunshine sure draws us out. Can't be too cold, what with all those folk sitting out at those sidewalk cafes. One does get acclimatized ... I will sit out on a bench for a good while if the sun is shining, even if it is freezing.

Cass @foodmyfriend said...

So beautiful Rosa. I feel like I was walking through those streets with you!

Yelena Strokin said...

I must visit Switzerland, I must. While the scenery is landscape is incomparable, I see so much similarity with old India in the streets and buildings. Feeling a sense of comfort.
