Evian-cute village still not a fan of the water

Today we had a lovely breakfast, then after packing our bags we headed back to Esplanade De Montbenon, which houses the port where we would be taking a ferry to Evian, France. We walked around the port for a little bit and found out where the ferry would be departing from at 1230, since we had 45 minutes we decided to have lunch, which consisted of baguettes filled with cheese and veggies or hotdog and fries. We then headed over to wait for the boat. Sabeena chose the top deck of the ship, which turned out to be all enclosed. I think we were all hoping for open air, but still had a gorgeous view of the Alps as we crossed the lake.

We received a map at the port and set off. There should have been a sign at the previous port stating that the village of Evian is closed from 100-300, therefore arriving at 107 with a 245 departure was not the best trip to be on. We got to see the remnants of the Farmers Market and the architecture of the village.

Once back in Lausanne we headed for the Olympic Museum. The museum had a some great exhibits, but in my opinion the walk up to the museum was the best part. There were some great sculptures and the hill was lovely.

After the museum we went to dinner followed by the botanical garden and then back to Chateau de Vigliotti.
