L'église Notre-Dame-de-Liesse

by Klod5

Est caractérisée par son beau clocher roman légèrement penché et dont la construction ne remonte qu'au XVI ème siècle. Cette ancienne collégiale, fondée en 1360 à l'emplacement d'un modeste oratoire, cité dés le Xll ème siècle, a eu ses heures de gloire avec ses « grands pardons » qui y attiraient des foules de pèlerins tous les sept ans. Elle a eu l'insigne honneur de recevoir et d'exposer en 1566 le « Saint Suaire » dans lequel, selon la tradition, le Christ avait été enveloppé au moment de son ensevelissement (il est actuellement conservé à Turin). Démolie presque totalement à la Révolution, elle fut reconstruite suivant un plan inverse du précédent en 1845. Sa façade néo-classique date de cette époque.

Wouldn't choose this restaurant anymore

by Martinewezel about Le Munich

Just like most restaurants in the old town, this one is a pizza restaurant. But apart the pizzas, all restaurants serve other dishes too. My husband chose a pizza and I had a Savoyarde Salad. Looking good, but both were flavourless.

Here are some of the wonderful views we had on our 2 hour cruise of Lake Annecy.
It was particularly lovely to see the contrast between the snow caps on the mountains and the deep green of the lake.

La Venise des Alpes

by Klod5

Dans la vieille ville, le terme de "Venise savoyarde" n'est pas usurpé, tant, avec ses canaux, ses quais, ses multiples ponts, bordés de belle demeures, la promenade y devient vite sentimentale. Les ruelles médiévales sont très animées, agréables, même quand le temps est maussade grâce à leurs parties couvertes.
Le grand parc, face au lac semble être devenu un paradi pour les promeneurs, qu'ils soient piétons (calmes promeneurs ou joggueurs), cyclistes ou en rollers.

In the old city, the term of " Venice from Savoie" is not usurped, so much, with its channels, its embankments, its multiple bridges, edged of beautiful homes, the walk becomes there quickly sentimental. The medieval alleys are enlivened very, pleasant, even when the time is dull thanks to their covered parts.
The big park, facing the lake seems to have become a paradi for the walkers, that they are pedestrians (quiet walkers or joggueurs), bicyclists or in rollers.
