Fête de la bière 2007


Just between Mathias Christening and the Greenfiled festival, there was... I almost forgot it:

La Fête de la bière à Ouchy-Lausanne!!!


As you probably guessed, it is a beer festival located in Lausanne, by the lake...

Peter, Alessandra, Yannick, and Jérôme were there...

As well as Serge et Flo.

We tasted a good selection of foreign beers, and had a wonderful time!

Yannick wanted a little kiss from Remo...

...and Jérôme & Peter can have serious discussions!

About good beer :-)


Finally Thierry joined us in the end of the evening.

Greenfield festival 2007


Last week-end was held the Greenfield festival in Interlaken, Switzerland... The line up was impressive with The Smashing pumpkins, the Killers, Marylin Manson, Queens of the stone age, Juliette and the licks, Sonic youth, and more!


The weather was supposed to be really bad, and we faced our most dreadful nigthmare when it began to rain really when we finished to mount our camping tent!!!

But all went well as the sun showed up at the minute the first concerts started friday afternoon until the last one on Sunday evening...




Now a little presentation of our festival team:

"Remo-le-beau"

"Jaques-lesnouillesfrites"


"Fredy-le-gentil"

"Sandro-pericoloso"

...and "Aurore-on-l'adore"



This picture is supposed to show the beautiful pink sunset on the mountain while QOTSA were playing...

And here you can see the stage of a fantastic band which does not need to be presented :))


Our last night in the camping... Remo wanted to sleep under the stars, but it began to rain...




...and last but not least: foggy morning in the camping on Monday! Look how devastated the camping is :-o

Baptème Mathias

On the 20th of May 2007 my godson Mathias was baptized in a Church located in Cordast (near Courtepin).

Here Mathias is playing in a basked together with his older cousins...

This was another special and lovely day!

Hiking in the Alps

I know it's been a long time since I posted this blog... So here it is: on the 18th of May Remo and I went hiking in the surroundings of Champéry.


The area is called "les préalpes du Chablais valaisan", and is situated really at the border between Switzerland and France, but still in Switzerland. In winter, we go skiing there as well. The skiing domain is called "Les portes du soleil"...



The journey begins in the village of Champéry (1036 meters high), and ends at the "Pointe de la Ripaille" (1927 meters high). The weather was fantastic! We met goats and cows on the way :-)





Cows are very nice animals, as they left us generous and smelly "gifts" on our way to the top...








We crossed the "torrent de Seumon" after 30 minutes walk...






We then walked across woods and meadows, and finally arrived in our top destination...

The most amazing thing was that we went through snowy fields on the way back... in May! Really really fun day ;-)
