Excursion 08

Dear colleagues,

This excursion is adequate for family with kids. Short and without difficulty you arrive finally to a lovely calm lake where you can swim or lie on the meadows surrounding it. There is an auberge (Auberge de Genin) where you can eat good quality country food for a reasonably low price. Here is my proposal:

It is convenient to emphasize some useful items: please do not forget to carry on (wear) raincoat, hat/cap and sun glasses, warm gloves, hiking boots or sport-footwear with thick and non-slipping sole, enough food and drinks for the own consumption. Spear dry clothes and after excursion confortable shoes are very convenient.

Have a lovely weekend! Cheers! Jose.
