Herboristerie
by Klod5
Sur la place St.-Jean, devant la cathédrale du même nom, ne manquez pas d'aller voir l'Herboristerie. C'est l'une des rares rescapées de France, où elles ont toutes pratiquement disparues.
En effet, de diplôme n'est plus préparé depuis de nombreuses années et la profession est en voie de disparition au fur et à mesure des décès des herboristes diplômés. C'est, encore une foi, le résultat d'une loi navrante, dictée par les lobby pharmaceutiques, pour de plus grands profits.
Ce magasin est resté comme à la fin du siècle dernier, extraordinaire... On the place St-Jean, before the cathedral of the same name, don't miss to be going to see the Herboristerie. It is one of the rare surviving of France, where they have all practically extinct.
Indeed, diploma is not prepared more since numerous years and the profession is in way of disappearance with the progression of the graduate herbalist deaths. It is, again a faith, the result of a distressing law, dictated by the lobby pharmaceuticals, for bigger profits.
This store remained like at the end of the last century, extraordinary...

Train was definitely my choice, with great connections (many of them TGVs) to other French cities (Avignon, Paris are just two of those) and to Geneva, in Switzerland. There's an airport as well, and a good road network.

A visit to Annecy is not complete if one does not walk the narrow streets and cross the bridges over the canal.Here we found the best way to enjoy 'eating out' - buy a loaf filled with mouth-watering ingredients and do not forget to ask for melted cheese to be included. Then go eat on the grass in the nearby park.
Nuits Sonores

Fantastic festival for electronic music, taking place in May every year. I've been there twice and it was awesome. The locations are also interesting. If you love electronic music and the culture that surrounds it, don't miss this!
Lyon

"Weekend trip"
After having spent many an evening, and an occasional morning jog, in Lyon for work, I finally managed to stay over for a weekend. My wife met me for a day in Lyon and a day in the medievel town of Perouges. While the weather did not cooperate, with rain the entire time, we did enjoy exploring the city from under an umbrella or during brief gaps in the rain.
