Chateau Chillon

is a hooge castle the other end of Lake Geneva from Geneva. They have French rules i.e. kids can run around anywhere and generally be kids. Mine ran around making loads of noise and playing hide and seek in centuries-old nooks and crannies and not only did no-one mind many local kids joined in the fun. So different from the UK where "this solid stone structure may have survived countless centuries and the odd armed conflict but if your child even looks at that bit too hard it's going to FALL OFF".
