Lake and Mountain View




"Success is like climbing a mountain, 

you have to work as a team, 

face obstacles and bad weather, 

but no matter what, 

we always reach the top."

Martin Paquette


"The higher the mountain, 

the deeper the valley"

Alsatian proverb


"Between the shores of the oceans 

and the summit of the highest mountain

is a secret road that you must travel

before you become one with the sons 

of the Earth."

Khalil Gibran


"When you have walked for two hours 

on a mountain, you are smarter."

Coline Serreau


The will allows to climb on the summits;

 without will, one remains at the foot 

of the mountain."

Chinese Proverb


"Culture is the source of all creativity.

That of geography and the history of

mountaineering makes us look at the

Alpine arc as an evidence, a beauty, 

a line to follow. A line, not the line! 

Like a line in a face."

Patrick BĂ©rhault

  • desired by the swans."

  • Munia Khan



  • "The still waters of a lake reflect

  • the beauty around it.

  • When the mind is still,

  • the beauty of the Self is seen

  • reflected in it."

  • B.K.S Iyengar



  • "Find a calm lake and wait for

  • the twilight in silence!

  • There, Existence will visit you with

  • all its magnificence!

  • The Existence of the Existence can best

  • be felt in the presence of dimness

  • and in the absence of crowds and noises!"

Christmas in July. How did it start?


    The tradition of "Christmas in July" is believed to have originated at a girls' summer camp in 1933 called Keystone Camp in Brevard, North Carolina. The camp decided to celebrate the holiday six months before Christmas as a fun and festive event. 

    This unique celebration has evolved, including caroling, decorating a Christmas tree, visiting Santa Claus, exchanging presents, and even creating fake snow made of cotton. It has become a part of pop culture, offering a mid-year escape that still captures the joy and spirit of Christmas.
