Places to see in ( Annecy - France )
Annecy is an alpine town in southeastern France, where Lake Annecy feeds into the Thiou River. It’s known for its Vieille Ville (old town), with cobbled streets, winding canals and pastel-colored houses. Overlooking the city, the medieval Château d’Annecy, once home to the Counts of Geneva, contains a museum with regional artifacts such as Alpine furniture and religious art, plus a natural history exhibit.
Reclining gracefully by the shores of its mountain-fringed lake, cut by limpid canals, studded with geranium-bedecked houses, and dominated by its turreted château, Annecy is one of the ornaments of Savoie. Made great by the medieval Counts of Geneva, augmented by the Dukes of Savoy, it's kept much of its stunning vieille ville (old town), despite being capital of the modern département of Haute-Savoie. The purity of the lake and the beauty of its setting compels Annéciens outdoors – in good weather it seems everyone is hanging out in pavement cafes, mountain-gazing along the lakefront, swimming in the lake, or just aimlessly cycling around it.
Annecy in the North of the French Alps, is called touristically the Venice of Savoie. The medieval town centre built around a 14th Century Chateau is dissected by small canals and streams running out of Lac Annecy, which is clean, fresh and a wonderful azure colour. Annecy is also the prefecture of the département of Haute-Savoie.
