Bordering both Switzerland and Italy, the Haute-Savoie is a place of great natural beauty, full of mountains, valleys, lakes and rivers. Just South of Geneva, the Haute-Savoi is home to legendary Chamonix, Lake Annecy and Mont Blanc, the second highest moutain in Europe. Wherever you go in Haute Savoie, you are never far from somewhere exceptional or unusual. There is a wealth of quaint little churches and historic monuments, flower-decked villages to explore and delicious local and traditional specialities to taste and take home with you.
Be a guest to one of the world's most exclusive tables. France, land of gourmets and culinary arts, offers a bewildering array of food and wines from delicious simple fare to exquisite haute cuisine. With over 340 sorts of cheese and 450 quality wines France will satisfy every palate.

A word of advice from Lagrange: French roads are excellent, but not free, so keep some euros handy.
