The main language spoken in Lyon and Chamonix are French. Many people in both places also speak English. Additionally, in Chamonix, many people spoke English, but with a British accent!
The euro is used in both Chamonix and Lyon because they are both in France.
A bottle of water in Chamonix costs around four euros, which equals about four and a half dollars in the United States.
The best meal I ate this week was in Chamonix. We ate fondue and raclette, which are both melted cheese dishes. To eat these dishes, you dip various foods such as meat and bread in melted in cheese. It was the most cheese I have ever eaten!
While in Chamonix, the people I traveled with and I listened to the French radio. This radio station plays a combination of modern, pop French music and new American music.
