[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Annecy, France. Super clean beautiful lake surrounded by mountains, warm enough to comfortably swim in in July and August. French food. 45 minutes from a major airport. 90 minutes from the heart of the French Alps. And yet I have met very few Americans or even Brits who have ever heard of it.[/quote]

Went over 20 years ago on a People to People trip and LOVED it![/quote]

Yeah, it’s different now.  [b]Violence against children, especially babies & toddlers, is something I thought I would never see there.[/b]
I don’t know why pp wrote the above about Americans & Brits.  There’s a small but mighty group of expats in Annecy, known as the “Venice of the Alps.”[/quote]

Huh?[/quote]

I think PP was referring to this.

It was shocking partially because it's so rare.  And obviously because of the viciousness of attacking kids on a playground.

Just as a side note, 12 children under 18 have been shot and killed in the District this year.
