Exploring Annecy, France by bicycle! 🚲 [Cycling in France]

The rain in France finally clears in Annecy just in time to rent bikes! We rented an ebike for Heather and a regular bike for Bill and rode around lac d'annecy - so it's Electric Bike versus regular on this trip around lac du Annecy! We also talk about the west side vs the east side of the lake bicycling loop (37km!). Find out which type of bike we'd recommend for this cycling circle!
Watching the paragliders land was amazing, and the views were fantastic everywhere we looked. We stopped in the small town of Talloires to explore a bit. The charm of the area was incredible!
Thanks for watching our video! Our channel is a combo of a travel vlog and advice based on our experiences. We won't sugarcoat anything and will tell it like it is! We are really excited to be traveling again and hope to inspire you to travel to some amazing places.

    Loved your trip. We will be there in about 2 months as well. Loved watching many of your videos. Yesterday we watched the 3 choices of Ghent, Burges & Antrewp. I went with Ghent and my wife stayed with Burges.😍

    While watching many of your videos, we wondered, why Bill changes his hat from brim forward or backward? Thought it was sun or rain-related but don't think so? Keep those great videos coming we are putting our lists together for future trips to Europe and your suggestions.

    😂 He changes his hat purely for light reasons! If the brim faces forward, you can't see his eyes when we're recording. If it faces backwards, he's better lit. 😊

    Absolutely well shot vlog guys. Just one tip which I want to add from a viewer's perspective. Please mention the charges( bike, e-bike, accommodation, boat ride, food, etc). This will help a lot of fellow travelers.

    Thanks for sharing, beautiful ! we are going to Annecy and Chamonix this summer for one week ( June-August).Please advise on the best time to visit the region and what's the best way to get to Annecy from Paris by train, I mean via Lyon or Geneva? Thanks in advance.

    There are direct trains from Paris to Annecy! No need to stop in Geneva or Lyon, unless you want to (and if you do, Lyon is a bit easier to transit through, though we definitely enjoyed a few days in Geneva!). Enjoy your trip! It's an absolutely beautiful area of Europe.

    It varies by year! Too early and there could still be snow. Too late, and there might be early snow. I would aim for late June or July.
