i spent a week in the small town of talloires for a conference a few weeks ago. tallories is a small (and when i say small, i do mean very small) town on the shores of lake annecy in france, about an hour from geneva. i was there because tufts has a campus of sorts there, an old 16th century priory that an alumni donated to the school. it was an incredibly relaxing place for a conference. absolutely beautiful scenery, easy to get between our small french hotel and the priory for the conference, incredible restaurants where we had some amazing french meals, and not too much else to do!
the town of tallories was absolutely incredible, but the wonderful people i met during the week were really the greatest part of it all. and i'm not being cheesy. it was easier to get to know people being "stuck" in a small town together rather than being in a big city where people might have had friends or activities to partake in after conference hours.
...and did i mention there is an absolutely beautiful lake?
i'll be back, talloires. with tim next time.
