... to be teenagers just about everywhere, which gave the town a youthful buzz.
We walked along the promenade toward the Chateau (of course there's a Chateau) and took in the postcard views on the way. Although it was 25 degrees and sunny, we would feel a cool mountain breeze every once in a while.
