10 Sights & Landmarks in Annecy That You Shouldn't Miss
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. A walk down the Rue Royale will be rewarded with prime shopping, dining and people-watching, especially at the fountain of Saint Jean.

«Pont des amours» (loves bridge) From this bridge you can make amazing picture of «lac d’Annecy». Not only this bridge but the lake of Annecy is a romantic place in every season! You can have a picnic in the park. Rent a boat. Swim in the crystal clear lake. A nice walk around the water.. a hot wine (vin chaud) on this romantic bridge, while watching the view... I come often because I don’t live that far away.

An ancient city, sited on the shore of the beautiful lake Annecy, called the Venice of the Alps, intricately laced with a canal network, weaving between masses of historic buildings. Lots of restaurants, craft shops, galleries and food emporia are a magnet for visitors, when the market is on, the place can be heaving. On a wet mid week afternoon we pretty much had the place to ourselves (relatively), shame about the rain but it didn’t stop us bumbling about and exploring Definitely worth a visit

This huge lawn / sidewalk area is located directly on the lake, across the street from “old town” and the many lake activities. It is a wonderful to place to walk leisurely, run, stroll with the baby or just sit on one of the many benches (in the open and under the trees). Add this natural area and lake to your “must visit” list for Annecy.

This footbridge is a ideal spot for taking photos of the beautiful sight on both side of the bridge. Loved how the buildings were reflected on the water.

This is a beautiful church with high ceilings and white walls which makes the church look really bright compared to others. The white also contrasts with the gold altar nicely. The altar is especially beautiful. You will also see beautiful paintings within very interesting wood and/or stone work.

Beautiful church, worth the walk up the hill. The tombs of St Francis de Sales and St Jane de Chantal are there. The Sisters are still active there and you can attend Mass and Laudes and Vespers
