New years day was a travel day. We drove to Chambery and made regular stops along the way. One of the stops was to Chateau Grignan. We read that this castle was surrounded by lavender fields, and it was on the way, so we decided to check it out. There were indeed lavender fields all around the history where the castle resided. As it was winter, the lavender was not in full bloom, but we still got a good sweet smelling whiff of lavender when we got out of the car. With all the stops, we did not get to Chambery until dinner time. We unpacked, had dinner at the hotel, and retired early. We got up not so early the next morning and traveled to Baden (about 30 min from Zurich) to soak in the thermal baths for a few hours - what a way to end the trip!
Sydney really liked this tram so she asked me to take a picture while leaving Montpellier
