Monday Bites - Gelatomania, Annecy


Why is that in cold places, people are mad for ice cream?


And why is it, that only in Annecy have I seen SO MANY ice cream places in such close


proximity to each other.......


having to compete for ice-cream avid crowds by making their glaces, their gelato, their frozen custards........


Soooooo distinctive, sooooo visually appealing


so luscious and enticing......


So artistic, like Italian deco edifices


studded with jewel-like but entirely natural drool-inducing embellishments......?


Why?  To compete with this place, maybe?  Le Glacier des Alpes.

How do I know?  Cause this was the only place with a line this long.  And I've read the Yelp reviews.  It's not OFTEN that French people get this excited about something.  Am I wrong?

For this, I HAD to resurrect "Monday Bites".  Have you bought your train ticket to Annecy yet?  (Me, uh huh, I have made some plans.)

  3. Your Annecy adventure sounds and looks delicious in every possible way! And very glad to read (in your earlier posts) that your last-minute accommodation issues were so satisfactorily sorted. Serendipitous!
