Off to a good start this morning walking south along the lakeshore and I stopped at the Freddie Mercury statue for photographs.
I continued south and stopped at the beautiful Castle Chillion for photos as well.
I continued walking through Villenuve and Aigle and began walking 🚶‍♂️ up the narrow and steep Rhone Valley and along the Rhone River.
I eventually arrived at the beautiful little city of Saint Maurice where I will spend the night.

Very wealthy town maybe they might erect a memorial to Tina Turner beside Freddie.
