Evian Royal Resort
Sunday, September 28th, 2008

Evian Royal Resort, set on a suitably regal elevated position looking over Lake Geneva, is one of France’s premier spa destinations, where bathrobed guests take to the waters right at the source and enjoy along with them the finest cuisine and service in splendid semi-isolation. This is the place where those mountains-embossed on Evian bottles come to life; owned by the Danone Group, famous for yogurt as well as Evian water among its thousands of products, Evian Royal Resort enjoys the privilege of being the crown-jewel operation among the company’s portfolio of activities.

Evian Royal Palace is one of the two separate hotels set on the property of Evian Royal Resort; the other is Evian Royal Ermitage, on the same expansive grounds, grounds hosting the annual European Masters Golf Championship on its own scenic course, a top destination for golfers looking for a challenge. For golf enthusiasts especially, Evian Royal Resort is a destination of near pilgrimage importance. The Evian Masters Training Centre offers everyone from beginners to pros the chance to tee off at their own pace. With several practice holes, no one is rushed by parties following behind. Guests can take their time and reshoot the same hole over and over until they are ready to move on.
For juvenile travellers, Evian Kids’ Resort takes the constraints of parental supervision away and replaces it with a plethora of activities under the watchful eye of trained staff. The Kids’ Resort is a separate facility located away from the adult leisure areas, a type of summer camp that functions all year ’round.

This being France, the cuisine at Evian Royal Palace’s five restaurants is excellent and ranges from the creative gastronomy of chef Michel Lentz served under the painted domes of the elegant Les Fresques Royales to the spare but colourful Le Jardin des Lys spa restaurant where those bathrobed guests need not even put on their clothes to enjoy a healthy lunch of synergetic cuisine with lake views.

Royal Evian Resort collaborates with a hyperexclusive cooperative of independent hotels that counts Gleneagles in Scotland, Villa d’Este in Como, Brenner’s Park in Baden-Baden, and Victoria-Jungfrau in Interlaken among its very few members.

Quotes
Saturday, September 27th, 2008

I don’t know who made these quotes but they are just precious so thought I would share!

It doesn’t matter where you live in the world or what language you speak -

“Everyone smiles in the same language”.

As you know Greg and I are all about learning, just like the proverbial sponges and then acting on that learning to make a better life for ourselves, our family and the greater community and this is what we want to share with everyone else – experience life!

This quote is an oldie but a goodie with a very Aussie twist.

“If the grass is greener on the other side it must be where the sewerage comes out” in other words you can keep on looking for the greener spot but beware it may not be what it seems – make your own greener spot because then at least you know what you are getting – learn but then take action.

Happy travelling!
