Today Elizabeth, Tessa, Gavin and I went to Chateau du Chillon in Montreaux. It's a castle built in the middle ages that served as a midway point from France to Italy for travellers and such. Lord Byron wrote the poem "The Prisoner of Chillon" about Francois de Bonivard who was imprisoned there for 6 years. It was neat because the castle sits right on Lac Leman (lake geneva) and you have a great view of the French Alps (Evian sits right on the other side of the lake). You get a few pictures because I can't decide on which one I like best.
