It’s impossible to imagine a more attractive town than Annecy. Beautifully set on the shores of Lake Annecy, this tranquil body of water is a major draw for visitors. From outdoor activities such as kayaking, sailing, cycling and hiking, to visiting intriguing landmarks like Château d’Annecy, there’s always something to see and do here.

Dating back to the 12th century, Château d’Annecy features an array of fascinating artifacts, including authentic medieval furniture, sculptures and fine paintings. The castle’s terrace is a prime spot for enjoying panoramic views of the lake and old town.

The picturesque canals are a pleasure to meander around. Make the most of the constant stream of quaint nearby cafes and restaurants, providing the perfect pit stop.

Pay a visit to the Palais de l’Isle – arguably Annecy’s most impressive building. Perched on its own island on the lake, this iconic sight has had multiple functions over the years – including being used as a prison.

Also be sure to visit the town’s markets to see piles of local produce temptingly laid out. Market days are Tuesday through to Sunday.

While Annecy itself is wonderful to explore, there are numerous gems in the surrounding area just waiting to be discovered. All you have to do is drive.
