This was taken while paragliding in Allevard. The drop zone was just down from The Tower where friends were letting us stay so we had to fly right over the place! The La Tour du Treuil (The Tower of the Trellis) dates back to the year 1170, when it was in the hands of two brothers, Feliks and Marc Croy-Chanel, heirs to the Hungarian throne. Since then ownership has changed at the whim of the political and economic status of the region. In early 2001 it under-went an extensive two million dollar restoration project by its new owners who transformed it into the perfect harmony between the past and the present. My family and I are extremely gratefully to the Turo family for the generous opportunity to spend part of our summer here and the fabulous memories we will always cherish.
