Most people who go a trip to the Lac d’Annecy
breakfast on the boat, though I believe there is a
fair breakfast to be obtained at the Angleterre. On
the boat a very ample meal is provided — the trout
generally being excellent — which occupies the atten-
tion of the intelligent voyager during the whole of
the time that he is supposed to be looking at water-
falls, castles, peaks, and picturesque villages.
A run over to Allevard les Bains on a motor will in-
troduce you to “ Les Quatres Bouledogues” — Richard
Les Quatres t^le ProPrietor and his three animal
Bouledogues, bull-dogs being the four. Richard is
Allevard a humorist. He is a capital cook ; he
writes poetry — of a kind ; and edits a newspaper.

AFTER DINNER
The two Casinos, each having its theatre and each
being quite catholic in the matter of entertainments,
: giving opera, operetta, variety shows, and fireworks,
supply all the after-dinner needs of Aix, and the Club
Prives put no unnecessary difficulties in the way of
respectable strangers becoming members.
Vichy
Outside the hotels, the restaurants attached to
! which give in most cases a good table d'hote dinner
for 6 francs and a dejeuner for 4, there are but few
restaurants, for most people who come to Vichy live
! en pension , making a bargain with their hotel for their
food for so much a day — a bargain which does not
encourage them to go outside and take their meals.
The Casino of course has its restaurant. The
Alhambra Taverne is a restaurant and Brasserie in
the Rue Sornin, and the Fran^ais is in the Rue
du Marche. There are several small restaurants in
the environs of Vichy. In the valleys of the Sichon
and the Jolan, two streams which join near the
village of Cusset and then flow into the Allier, are
two little restaurants, each to be reached by a carriage
road. Both the Restaurant les Malavaux near the
ruins, and the Restaurant de l’Ardoisiere near the
Cascade of Gourre-Saillant, have their dishes, each
of them making a specialty of trout and crayfish from
the little river that flows hard by. At the Montagne
Verte, whence a fine view of the valley of the Allier
is obtainable, and at one or two other of the places to
which walks and drives are taken, there are cafes and
inns where decent food is obtainable.
