Annecy is a town in Southeastern France, on the northern tip of Lake Annecy, near the Swiss border. It has a rich history as a seat of the counts of Geneva and Savoy, a centre of the Counter-Reformation, and a silk industry, and is now a popular tourist destination.
Romance is the lifeblood of Annecy, a town in the Rhone-Alpes region of southeast France that’s replete with castles and cathedrals and softly curving architecture. Stroll hand in hand with your paramour across Pont des Amours (the lover’s bridge) before taking in the Imperial Palace and the baroque Cathedral of Saint-Pierre.

Whatever your reason for coming to Annecy, “Europe’s Cleanest Lake” will be in your plans. Lake Annecy has the quality of staying peaceful at all times of year despite all the activity on its shores If you come in summer you can’t be blamed for passing hours lazing by the transparent waters at one of several beaches around the shore, in awe of the ...
Annecy has earned the eminent French label “Ville d’Art”, and just within its compact old town there are 21 historical monuments to be found. The medieval core on the Thiou River is extremely pretty, with canals, arcaded pedestrian streets and exciting little passageways that have you fumbling for your camera every few steps. You could put yourself...
It’s hard to conceive of a municipal park blessed with better panoramas anywhere in the world. The Jardins del’Europe are in front of Annecy’s city hall, and before the embankment and Vassé canal were built had actually been a marshy island outside the city. In the 19th century the city plotted an English garden, and more than 600 deciduous trees w...
There are many picturesque bridges in Annecy, but when it comes to scenery none can compete with this one on the lakeside. Pont des Amours spans the Vassé canal and connects the Jardins de l’Europe with the Jacquet Promenade, a walkway blessed with yet more sumptuous views of the lake and mountains. The story goes that any lovers who kiss while on ...
You won’t be the first person to have stood on Pont Perrière for a photo of this fortified palace in the middle of the Thiou, but you have to do it anyway. Although it has been rebuilt several times in its extensive history, the complex dates to the 1100s and for hundreds of years it was a residence handed down the noble families of the County of G...
Saint-Pierre Cathedral is also admired for the way it interacts with the water, and is partly built over the canals. Saint-Pierre is a lovely renaissance building, constructed in the 1500s, and if it seems a bit subtle for a cathedral that’s because it wasn’t made one until 1825. Make the steep walk up to the Basilique de la Visitation, high to the...
The seat of the Counts of Geneva, Château d’Annecy dates to between the 12th and 16th centuries, and there are a few good reasons to climb the steep hill up to this building. You can spend a while pottering around the castle’s towers and halls, and there’s a museum giving you a window on the lifestyle of the itinerant rulers of Savoy. Poke through ...
Minutes west of the city is a marvellous river canyon cut by the Fier River. Even in the French Alps, which are famous for their natural wonders, the gorge is a must-visit. That’s down to how accessible it is: There’s a series of walkway suspended 25 metres above the river letting you marvel at the odd shapes create by many years of erosion. In pla...
Combine your trip to the Gorges du Fier with this castle, which looks down on the river. Château de Montrottier dates to the 13th century and is open during the summer months. The architecture is impressive, with a tall circular tower dominating the landscape. But the big story here is the collection of Léon Mares, who was a 19th-century explorer a...
Annecy is close enough to resorts like Manigod, La Clusaz, Le Grand Bornand and Saint Jean de Sixt to make it a ski destination. If you want a more cultured base than a typical village, Annecy is a beautiful place to return to after a day on the slopes and isn’t more than 45 minutes from any of the local ski areas. They’re all at low altitudes and ...

- Palais de l’Isle. Sitting on a triangular islet surrounded by the Canal du Thiou, the Palais de l’Isle has been a lordly residence, a courthouse, a mint and a prison,…
Between lake and mountains, the medieval historic centre of Annecy is an invitation to stroll and discover. With its cobbled streets, its colourful buildings and its emblematic buildings, the Venice of the Alps is a city rich in heritage.
