Feu De Lac Montriond
The festival at Lake Montriond ( Saturday 11th August) was attended by hundreds of people and statred with picnics, BBQ's and beers. We arrived at 2.00 pm and had a swim and hired a canoe. Good value at 13 euros for the hour.
Glowing candles were spread on the top of the lake and they drifted down the lake as the night went on. A paragliding display entertained all just before dark, with some pretty impressive stunts, althoiugh some missed the target and landed in the lake.
One even did a free fall and pulled a reserve shoot.
There were stalls selling food, drinks, hand crafted items, with many activities for all. The only problem was the parking and some had to walk several miles to get to their car.
The fireworks were the main event lasting for 30 minutes. It was without doubt the most impressive display I have ever seen, even better than the Disney land display, which says something for the tiny village of Montriond.
Highly reccomend this event for next year!
