Visit to Oyonnax, France - April 2008




We began our vacation in Europe by visiting our daughter Andrea in Oyonnax, where she had been working as an English Teaching Assistant for 7 months. 

Oyonnax is a town about the size of our hometown, Danville, Kentucky.  It is located between Geneva and Lyon.  Here is the view from her apartment balcony. 

Andrea taught at 2 Lycees (high schools).  Her apartment was located on the 4th floor of one school, called LycĂ©e Paul PainlevĂ©.  Here is a picture of the school courtyard. 

We toured the local lake, Lac Genin, a lovely spot for enjoying nature, fishing, or shooting a movie!  (The day we were there, a film crew was working on filming an “accident scene!” 

The best part of our visit to Oyonnax was being re-united with Andrea, and meeting the teachers she had worked with.  This photo shows a group of teachers who hosted a wonderful dinner for us our first evening in Oyonnax.
