    Chamonix town has a nice old center with a clear view of Mont Blanc. Nice quaint cafes, croissanteries, creperies and stuff. Best skiing on this lousy planet too ;)

    Listen, we're in need of a change and know that European things (especially French) seem to work well in the States. I'm prepared to bring over my know-how and create a Croissanterie or a Cręperie if someone is willing to fund it and offer us (il)legal immigrant status. I'll wait for your responses...........

    IMHO tourism today is based on exepriencing daily atmosphere, ambiences as much as on museum visits. Sitting on a terrace, watching daily life passing by, enter a croissanterie, a bakery,strolling through an open air market, drink quickly "un petit blanc" (glass of white wine), at the counter of the local bar, having a nap on a bench in the parc du Luxembourg, watch an amateur painter in a street of Montmartre....and finally go at night for a superb refined dinner for less than 200 FF per person!
