The 8 Best Churches & Cathedrals in Annecy, Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes
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.

Simply amazing, construction started in ~1150. The cathedral is entered crossing a cobblestone courtyard and going up a large set of magnificent steps. The stonework is top notch, the interior woodwork, stained glass is amazing. Pay the 5 CHF and go up and tour both towers. Phenominal views of the city and the lake. Up close views of the massive spire that reaches to the sky. Be sure to visit the attached Chapel by the other door you can exit from (other side of the steps) as many miss it, a very different style as it was a later add on to the original cathedral. The local hilly cobblestone streets and the massive wall that surrounds La Vielle Ville is awesome.
