The 14th CilfaCyclette took place from 18 to 21 July 2019! For this edition, 11 students cycled for four days alongside seven French people, some of whom were very experienced in cycle touring.
Taiwan was well represented among the students, with six participants. There were also four Japanese students and one Brazilian student.
A few months ago, the bakery and patisserie ‘Le Grenier à Pain’ welcomed our group for a comprehensive tour. The students really got stuck in!
On Friday, September 8, CILFA students took advantage of the beautiful weather to enjoy a picnic featuring local specialties in the gardens of the Château de Montrottier, which they then toured. The afternoon concluded with a visit to the magnificent Gorges du Fier.
On Tuesday, July 25, CILFA students went out into the city to meet French people with the goal of learning colloquial language!
On Monday, August 7, about 30 students went up to the Semnoz station for a big Savoyard picnic (local cheeses, cold cuts, baguettes, wines, and fruit juices from Savoie, etc.) with a breathtaking view of Mont Blanc.
Saturday, October 14, marked the 44th edition of the “Retour des Alpages” festival, an important event in the life of Annecy.
