GENEVA, SWITZERLAND – Flying from Geneva to London on Tuesday the pilot kindly took us over the canton’s beautiful vineyards, first Satigny, a bit of Peney, then Russin and Dardagny, as we followed the snaking river below. The harvest wasn’t yet underway on a large scale, or we would have seen more tractors on the move.
The last photo shows us heading towards the Swiss-French border with the hamlet of La Plaine, Switzerland, bordering the Rhone, and the French villages of Gaillardan and Challex higher up, closer to the Jura.
