In the southwest of Chamonix, there is English Lake that is also known to many experienced tourists as Lake Sinclair. If you see this fascinating lake now, you will hardly imagine that it is artificial. The lake was “created” upon the order of Lord Sinclair who bought a plot of land here in the late 19th century. Despite the fact that the lake is artificial, it is fed by natural water flows. In the warm period, it is a popular place for recreation. Different sports competitions are held here.
Every Saturday, an interesting traditional event is organized in the center of Chamonix. The wonderful market is opened here. Several streets are closed specifically for this. The center of Chamonix becomes a pedestrian zone. The market is very popular with tourists, as they can buy here the best national delicacies. The most popular treats here are fried chickens cooked directly on the market. You can buy this chicken and fresh bread, go to the nearby park and picnic.
