Bus station at Samoëns in Haute Savoire - 31 Aug 1990

Friday 31 August 1990 – The small town of Samoëns in Haute Savoire, France had a rather charming bus station (and tourist information office) from where the services of SAT (Société Annemassienne de Transports) ran. Unfortunately I didn’t time my mid-afternoon visit very well as there were no departures or arrivals when I was there.
The town is situated in the Upper Giffre Valley and attracts tourists all year round. In summer it boasts some colourful floral displays and in winter is a resort with activities that include ski-ing, dog sledding and, I have read, diving under ice! The valley has had a limestone cutting industry since the 17th century and there have been many quarries dotted around the valley. The bus station building features some attractive stonework.
