Fox & Chamois in Mont Veyrier
I met this fox today, while walking on a trail in the forest below Mont Veyrier. It didn’t seem too afraid.

Squirrel in Annecy
I saw this squirrel today in Parc des Raisses in Annecy-le-Vieux. Not sure what specy it was but it was squeaking pretty loud. It was my first time seeing a squirrel in the city, although I saw some in the forest near Cluses and above Thônes.

Café Félin "Ma Langue aux Chats"
At the end of my day trip to Québec City, while I was waiting for my bus back to Montreal, I stayed at Café Félin Ma Langue Aux Chats, a cat café close to both Old Québec and the bus station. The concept is similar to what can be found in Japan (and increasingly in other countries): It is a classic café, but with cats walking about. They were a bit sleepy when I visited but it was nice and relaxing after a day of walking.
