Annecy in Haute-Savoie rightfully carries the nickname "Venice of the Alps": crystal-clear canals weave through a picturesque old town with colorful houses, arcades, and medieval bridges. The Palais de l’Isle, a stone island building in the middle of the Thiou Canal, is the city's landmark and one of the most photographed sights in the French Alps.
The old town (Vieille Ville) invites you to stroll with its winding alleys, boutiques, chocolateries, and cozy bistros. The market on Tuesday and Friday at Place Sainte-Claire is one of the most atmospheric in the region — Reblochon cheese, Savoy sausages, Berghonog, and fresh alpine flowers attract locals and visitors alike. The Château d’Annecy, a medieval fortress above the old town, now houses a museum and offers fantastic views over the rooftops and the lake.
Lake Annecy begins right at the edge of the city and, with its crystal-clear water, is one of the most popular bathing destinations in the Alps. The Jardins de l’Europe, an English landscape park by the lakeshore, connect the city and the lake via the Pont des Amours (Lovers' Bridge). In June, the International Animated Film Festival takes place, and in August, the Fête du Lac features spectacular fireworks over the lake. Annecy combines alpine charm, historical substance, and excellent quality of life — no wonder the city is regularly voted one of the most livable in France.
