The ring

Finally! We got the ring fitted. We kept the one Jay chose in the first place, he made a very good choice, the ring is very pretty and simple. I love it!
So here's some pictures for those of you who didn't see it yet.

France - Ivoire

Ivoire is an old medieval city on the Leman lake. This is where my family's favorite restaurant is, it's called Le Bar des Pêcheurs (my dad as been going there since he was a baby)





With my sister Roxane

France - A hike to Les Replans

It was a nice day so we went for a hike up to Les Replans.



This is it!



France - Fun at the Leman lake

We got back from paris and spent the weekend with my family and friends to share the good news. For pictures of that weekend, you can check out my dad's blog, on your right.
And then my sister Roxane got back from the south of France where she worked as a waitress. We went to Thonon to take a dip in the lake.

France - How he proposed!

First we had a very nice dinner at a restaurant near our hotel in the Quartier Latin. It was the same hotel and same restaurant we've been to two years ago. The restaurant was called Les Degrés de Notre-Dame because you can see Notre-Dame from it.

After dinner we decided to take a walk toward the Eiffel Tower, we knew she was all pretty and sparkly and wanted to take some pictures.
So after walking all that way, we sat down in the Trocadero Garden to enjoy the show. And at midnight, the Eiffel Tower started to sparkle again and that is when Jay asked me to marry him (in french!) and I said yes!

France - Three days in paris

Then we went to Paris, we had a lot of fun. We just visited Versailles since we've already been two years ago and visited then the Louvre, Notre-Dame, the Arc-de Triomphe...

The Eiffel Tower from the Louvre, it was not sparkling then.

France - A stroll in Annecy

Sorry it has taken so long for us to post anything but here it is, finally, a new post about our french vacation! Enjoy!
The first few days in France we spent in Habère-Poche with my mom, dad and little sister Héloïse. We went for a little stroll in Annecy. The weather was perfect and we had a very nice afternoon snack sitting in the grass and looking at the lake.

At the lake





And here is one of my favorite dish, la Tomme Blanche, served with potatoes and a salade, and of course charcuterie.
