A quick photo summary of what happened after Alice Wang and I did the parting of the ways. 
A VERY brief stop in Lyon. Again, a shame, because it seems like a cool city.
Annecy. It’s in the French Alps right next to the Swiss border, and is in the running to host the 2018 Winter Olympics.
Geneva. All in all a very agréable city.
The Jet d'Eau, by day and by night.
The UN. Conference room and gardens.
The gorgeous Jardin Botanique.
People sunning themselves along Lake Geneva.
The Horloge Fleurie, or Flower Clock, which apparently has the largest second hand in the world.
Life-size chess in the park.
Finally, Lausanne. It was a miserable day (rainy and very cold – I might as well have been back in Normandy), which probably affected my judgment of the place. I will say, though, that the coolest part of the city wasn’t the city at all. It was the hiking trails, like this one.
The trails traverse the hills in the northern part of the town and afford what are probably much nicer views than this when the sun is out.
