Swiss fondue as our farewell to Switzerland
This was our last day in Charmey, and we enjoyed every minute of it.
Like every day, we had a picnic lunch and used the bags our teacher Sonja Hamilton made for us. She spent time before the trip researching what we were going to see on the trip and painted those scenes on picnic bags that she gave us on our first day. That was so sweet of her. Here are pictures of each bag she made:
She even made one for Valerie who was not on the trip with us this time.
She designed a new logo for Jackie’s company, French Escapade with all the countries in Europe she organizes trips to: Belgium, France, Switzerland and Italy.
We returned to Gruyeres (the castle) and painted outdoors. I actually finished a small painting in a couple hours…a record for me.
We had time to explore the village and castle, enjoy the views from a mountaintop, and shop…all at a relaxed pace.
Later we took a funicular to the top of Moleson, the highest mountain in Gruyeres, with an amazing view.
After photographing in every direction, we had a fondue dinner in the restaurant there. Yum! It was a grand finale for a wonderful tour.
And this was the end of a fabulous trip in Switzerland with French Escapade.
My name is Jackie Grandchamps. In 2003, I founded French Escapade, offering another way to travel in small groups of 8. "Don't be a tourist, be our guest" is the moto and spirit of my company.

Through this blog, I will provide information about France, Belgium, California, (soon Italy) but also some stories from my guests on the tours.
Learn more about the company in the French Escapade section of this blog.
