In reply to Margaret Nicol. Thank you Margaret. I used to be really surprised by all the people I met who said they'd been coming here for 20/30/40 years but now I know why. I'm so lucky to have discovered Thollon and I hope to enjoy it for a while longer. Whatever happens in the future, it's a place that will always be in our hearts. I'm glad that you still feel a connection and I hope you'll continue to follow my stories and enjoy the photos. (Let me know if there's anything you'd like me to rediscover for you)

We absolutely love your ‘letter from Thollon’ and now your own website. Your wonderful photographs and entertaining stories have cheered us up over the winter, especially since Christmas when it has been so cold we haven’t ventured out much. Four years ago we sold our apartment in Thollon after enjoying holidays there for nearly 30 years. It goes without saying that we still miss it for all the reasons you give for enjoying your new life there. Age and the journey from Scotland were the main reasons for selling but it’s nice to imagine being there through your photographs. Thank you so much Lindsay.

There’s also the Mésoscaphe, tourist submarine, operating in 1964-5. There was a test launch using a redundant steam railway locomotive! Contact me directly and I will forward an article on this.

In reply to Liz Tough. Thank you for taking the time to leave such lovely comments, Liz. You're right, Thollon is such a special place, a hidden gem. There's certainly plenty of inspiration here as there's so much to see and do. It's true what they say, nature is definitely the best therapy. Let's hope you're back in the very near future.

Thank you so much for your wonderful letters from Thollon. We have really enjoyed reading them during the pandemic. We are missing Thollon very much and your writing is bringing us much pleasure and enjoyment. And some great ideas for when we can next return, whenever that may be! It really is a paradise on earth (we think). It’s great that you have a new website. Thank you and good luck with your new venture.
