The Lake and the Old Town
Con
crowded city, few parkings, tends to be expensive
In a nutshell
A wonderful alpine town with much charm
15 Reviews For those with more energy than is necessary when you take a cruise, there are a number of water sports available. Or maybe you would prefer to sunbake on a deck chair on the pontoon. Water skiiing, kayaking, swimming, paddle boarding etc. They are all available, at a cost of course, but I am sure...
7 Reviews After our walk, we were back at the entrance where the Souvenir Shop and Cafe is located. Toilet's are located here. After a look at the shop, and buying some postcard's, it was time to buy something from the Cafe. We decided on an Ice-cream and drink each, and had it here under the awning, in this...

7 Reviews The Castle was four hundred years in the building. The construction started in the 12th century and it was finally completed inthe 16th century. In the 13th century however, it became the residence of the counts of Geneva. It was given over to the town of Annecy in 1953 and after extensive...

4 Reviews I think this is one of the most picturesque spot of Annecy .....the boats lined in unison, colours blended with the foliage on the fringe of my picture ..creating a soft and warm arch ...a beautiful example of the iron architecture ..simple but blending so nicely with the fairytale...
Eglise de Notre Dame de Liesse
3 Reviews The Eglise de Notre Dame de Liess in Annecy was built on the site of a former Marist Sancutary which in turn was built in the 13th century. The present church was five years in the making under the direction of one Francois Justin, an engineer employed by the the Sardinian administration. He was...
Maryimelda Says: There are quite a few shopping streets in the Old Town. All tastes and budgets are catered for. Probably the busiest of all the shopping streets is Rue St Claire which is lined with many historical buildings some with arcades with clothing shops, gift shops, craft type shops...
Beausoleil Says: We always walk through a town visiting the churches. There is always some amazing art hiding inside and you often get treated to music while looking. The stained glass is wonderful and if you look closely, it often shows you a history of the town.Once in St. Pierre's...
Maryimelda Says: This is yet another little nook in a backstreet in Annecy that catches the eye whenever you pass. I had no idea what the word meant or what it was doing over that archway, but I felt that it made another interesting photo of Annecy so I snapped it and went on my way.I have...
Maryimelda Says: Alright, alright, I admit that we had enjoyed a glass or two of vin rouge with our dinner but on the way back to the hotel we came across an ancient building with a crooked door! We all stopped to examine it and I couldn't resist taking a photo right then and there. Only...

Maryimelda Says: The food at La Galejade was well priced and very satisfactory. The service was very good as well. A good selection of wines and beers was also available at reasonable prices. All in all, not a bad choice for dinner at all especially since it is situated right beside the...
Glacier des Alpes: Paradise for ice cream freaks
Maryimelda Says: Annecy is paradise for devotees of good ice cream. My very best favourite ice cream shop (and I did try many of them in three days) was Glacier des Alpes which I could see from my hotel room.This shop was always packed with people, sometimes two and three deep at the counter...
gagastbarth Says: During our trip to Annecy, we took a taxi tour of the lake and city!It was wonderful, we saw it all, went on top of Col de la Forclaz to admire the whole lake, we enjoyed our english speaking driver. It was also nice to talk with a local person.The cost was around 60 euros...
La Fête du Lac 2007 tout feu tout slam
Klod5 Says: 147 ans d'une tradition lumineuse...C'est en 1860 qu'a lieu la première fête nocturne sur le lac d'Annecy. Elle est donnée en l'honneur de Napoléon III et de l'Impératrice Eugénie, venus célébrer la rattachement de la Savoie à la France. Depuis, la tradition s'est perpétuée....
ameraroundtheworld Says: Annecy is very safe in general. There is no reason to worry about violent crime. However, due to the high amount of tourism in the area, it's not as safe as I had led to believe. It almost lulls you into a false sense of security; but be wary of the groups of kids/ teens...
balhannah Says: Located just 5kms from Annecy, is the lakeside town of Sevrier.Here, is the beautiful neo-gothic St. Blaise Church, that was built in 1887.We stopped here, and I had a look at the Church inside and out, then went for a little walk. The view's over the lake to the Mountain's...
balhannah Says: Just 30kms from Annecy we came across Lac Du Bourget, the largest and the deepest lake in France.The lake has a few River's that enter it, the main one is the River Leysse. It was interesting to read that a Fish named [Bezoule] was found in this Lake, and is now extinct. I...
Dabs Says: My husband enjoys competitive racing, he usually does several triathalons, 5K runs and long distance swim races every summer so this seemed like a perfect way for him to combine a vacation to Europe and participate in a race.The Traverse du Lac is set on the beautiful Lac...
Martinewezel Says: Annecy once had it's own paddle steamer, "Le France". Built in 1909, it became the symbol of the lake during the Belle Epoque. In the sixties, the ship stopped sailing while the cost became too high. Also it was a terrible polluter; it needed more than a ton of charcoal /...

When we arrived at the pedestrian zone and got out of the cab across the bridge from our hotel, I can remember thinking that it was just like being on the edge of Toyland. Not that I had ever been in...
