Chateau d'Annecy

by Kate-Me

Annecy Castle and the Palais de L'isle are the two main attractions of Annecy, and you can buy a combined ticket to visit both (which we did).

The Château was the home of the Counts of Geneva and the Dukes of Genevois-Nemours, a side arm of the House of Savoie (12th-16th century).
Now it it is home of the Art and History Conservatory of Annecy and even has a small Aquarium in one of its buildings.

the old town

by sylvie-uk

do not worry, people dont have to take a boat to get to their houses, they can get in by a back street.
i ve visited annecy a lot, but i still can get enough of how pretty it is.
it s often called the "savoyarde venise" and has attracted a lot of artist who would come to paint it.

Annecy

by eddymario

"Venice of the Savoie"

This charming town stole my heart.
The unique location on a lake and surrounded by mountains makes this a romantic city. The Thiou Canal is the river crossing Annecy that gives you the feeling that you're in Venice.Annecy's origins date back to 3000 BC.
