We'll be staying at L'Aravis Lodge overlooking Annency and at the Adelphia Hotel in Aix les Bains on Lake Bourget. I'll have a night before and after the tour in Geneva. I haven't been in some of that part of France. I think we might be going to Lyon where I have been, but not staying there.

Nichole L. Reber left a comment for Sandra Marchetti"Actually, yes, I love that idea. Sounds like a triple win.
Sounds like everything you've thought to add is exactly what I'd suggest.
When would you like to post it? You're welcome to do it this month, if you'd like.
Cheers
