Things to Do  

War Memorial

War Memorial, Pussy

 easyoar Says:  This is the Pussy War Memorial. I like to hope that the four items around the outside are artillery shells. The Memorial was commemerating war dead. I was quite surprised to see a war memorial in a village as small as Pussy. This one seemed to be particularly commemorating... 

The Church

The Church, Pussy

 easyoar Says:  Pussy is just big enough to have its own church. I didn't find out its name. It isn't anything special to look at either, but it is the largest building in the village and a bit of a focal point.The village square is just beside it, and the hotel/restaurant is by this square... 

Alpine Walks

Alpine Walks, Pussy

 easyoar Says:  If you aree in Pussy and you don't have a vehicle, I should imagine you don't have a lot to do apart from chill out or go for walks. This picture gives you some idea of the sort of scenery you can expect to see. You can imagine that your walk will consist of some fairly... 

Torrent

Torrent, Pussy

 easyoar Says:  The Pussy Torrent. You may wonder how I could be so sure of the name of this stream, when it wasn't signed in any way. Well again the internet comes to hand. Drilling down into Multimap shows that this little stream is the Torrent de Pussy:... 

Restaurants  

La Bellacha: Pussy's only Restaurant

La Bellacha: Pussy's only Restaurant, Pussy

 easyoar Says:  For the more eagle-eyed of you, you will notice that this is the same place as the hotel. Yes, this is a one hotel, one restaurant village. I can't imagine it being especially busy most of the time though. The restaurant does set menus for 16 Euros, rising to 18 Euros on... 

Nightlife  

Pussy Barbeque Dance

Pussy Barbeque Dance, Pussy

 easyoar Says:  I got the feeling that things to do outside of your own room in Pussy were probably not that exciting.This poster was advertising the Pussy Barbeque Dance which was several weeks in the future (yes, I know it is in the past now). This seemed to be a highlight in the Pussy... 

Transportation  

But not sure the buses stop...

But not sure the buses stop..., Pussy

 easyoar Says:  Although I saw this bus/coach driving through, I didn't see anyone on the bus (other than the driver), and I didn't see any bus stops. So that pretty much agrees with my thought that if you want to go there, you will need to drive there under your own steam. Being so out of... 

Car is probably the only way...

Car is probably the only way..., Pussy

 easyoar Says:  This is a tiny little village out in the mountains. To this end, it is difficult to find on maps, the roads around it are very narrow and have lots of twists and turns. It takes longer than you may think. I suspect getting there under normal public transport would be almost... 

Shopping  

None in particular: Swiss Milk Chocolate

None in particular: Swiss Milk Chocolate, Pussy

 easyoar Says:   Whilst this town is most definitely in France, it is also extremely close to the Swiss Border, and it is most definitely a typical Alpine village. This scene almost looks like the front of a Swiss Chocolate Box to me. If you take away the electric fence in front of the... 

Warnings Or Dangers

If you do go..., Pussy

 easyoar Says:  If you go and visit Pussy, and then let people know you have been, be ready for unkind speculation as to your motives and your morals ;-) Checkout the following comment I have received below...quartinb Tue Aug 23, 2005 18:24 BST ..ever wonder wha's t the meaning of pussy in... 

Overheating

Overheating, Pussy

 easyoar Says:  How are you supposed to know if things are overheating and you need to cool down whilst you're in Pussy? Well somebody had kindly put this big thermometer up on the wall. I was there very early in the morning, so you can see it was still pretty cool, but I'm sure it heats up... 

Danger of Death

Danger of Death, Pussy

 easyoar Says:  I found this warning sign in the middle of the village. It's a little concerning. If you translate the lower half of the sign, it says: "Pussy - Danger of Death, Accessible only by authorised personnel". I had no idea it was so dangerous in Pussy. Perhaps I should have been... 

Alpine Roads

Alpine Roads, Pussy

 easyoar Says:  The Alps are a pretty well known Mountain range in the region of France and Switzerland. As with any mountainous region, the roads tend to be very twisty and turney and not of a very high standard. This sign was out warning of potholes in the road. When driving anywhere in... 

Off The Beaten Path  

Wood Storage

Wood Storage, Pussy

 easyoar Says:  Pussy is completely off the beaten path. It's not a place you go to by accident. I suspect it is the same for general amenities there too.I never quite got to the bottom of exactly how much Pussy had in terms of gas, electricity and water. My suspicion is that they had water... 

Favorites  

Watertroughs

Watertroughs, Pussy

 easyoar Says:  If you do overheat, there seemed to be plenty of water troughs around to jump in to cool your ardour, or to fill up your cars radiator from. These probably exist from a time before running water, although water didn't seem to be too much of a problem there, I guess they must... 

The Gardens

The Gardens, Pussy

 easyoar Says:  The local residents seem to take great care in the appearance of both their houses and their gardens. This garden had utilised some old mill stones dating back to the 1880's to make a pretty flower display. Most gardens had fruit trees or vegetable gardens growing in them... 

Fruit

Fruit, Pussy

 easyoar Says:  Could this be the Forbidden Fruit? I'm not so sure, but the local residents all tended to have large gardens with plenty of fruit and vegetables growing in, such as grapes, apples, pears and tomatoes. I think people try and be at least partially self sufficient being up in... 

First View

First View, Pussy

 easyoar Says:  I had no idea what sort of place Pussy would be like when I first visited. I knew it would be tiny, but I wasn't even sure if it would be signposted or whether I would even be able to find it. I was rather pleasantly surprised. As you can see from this shot, it is actually a... 

Lechere

Lechere, Pussy

 easyoar Says:  Can you believe that Pussy is in the Commune of Lechery, or should that be Lechere? No? Well it is a little hard to believe, but that is exactly what the Notice on the Pussy Notice board said. It is a tiny little village, so the contents of what was on the signs wasn't... 

Where is it?

Where is it?, Pussy

 easyoar Says:  Pussy is in the Haute Savoie region of France, which is predominantly the mountainous Alpine region near Switzerland.I really struggled to find this place. I had to resort to the internet and Multimap to find it in the end, as even a lot of locals had never heard of it. The...
