Behind the Scenes

When I was 18 years old I attended a summer study program at Tufts University’s European Center in the tiny town of Talloires on Lake Annecy. France was my first love and the moment I knew the Europe show was a go, I began planning a Lac d’Annecy episode. It was the first episode we filmed although it is the third in airing. – Kathy

Where to watch

“You don’t feel like a real owner of the place. You’re just there to give testimony of the history of the castle and also to make to build the future of it. Like a guardian.

– Conte de Menthon
