Our visit to Annecy, France

... and why you'll want to visit too.
Set on the edge of the crystal blue waters of Lake Annecy, fed by the waters of the French Alps this historic town in the Savoie region of France is a must-see place.
The River Thiou flows from the lake giving this town its lifeblood, and a dramatic setting for the Palais de l’Isle, the 12th-century castle that sits on an island in the river. From the quaint cobbled lanes & streets, we wander to the edge of the lake and take in the views of Haute-Savoie.
We take one of the only climbs in the old town, up to the restored Château d’Annecy with views over the town and the lakes before we discover the bustling back streets of Rue Sainte-Claire and explore a food market.
This is our personal view of the town, which initially disappointed, only to win is over and is now a place we really want to return to.

    Hi Cindy, That will be fabulous; this video was shot between the 9th & 11th of September. If you get a chance, take a trip around the lake too, perhaps you checked out that video?

Happy and safe travels, Gary & Janis

    I enjoyed your video on Annency. We were fortunate to also have sunny weather for our full day there when my daughter and I took a Go Ahead Jewels of the Alpine tour in 2016 to see the countries of the Alps, and Annecy was a stop. The sun brings out all the bright colors especially at the lake with so many large white swans. I had not previously heard of Annency but thought its scenery was awesome. Funny thing is we had a very large hill climb to Chateau D' Annency from our direction there and I am even a daily walker. From St. Louis, U.S.

    Hey Larry, so nice to hear the video brought back memories. We loved Annecy, a different part of France, and we love those differences - a lot like the US. I must remember to pronounce the 's' at the end of St Loius 😊 been to France too many times. Stay safe, stay well, stay lucky in the 'Show Me State'

    Thank you for views of this beautiful town. We visited here on our way via train to Chaminix. I regret we didn’t have an opportunity to discover Annecy as you did. We were weary from our train ride and made a beginners mistake in carrying way to much luggage on our backs so we just stayed at the train station for 4 hours. I certainly would like the opportunity to discover this beautiful time whenever COVID releases its grip on our world and leisure travel days are possible once more
