Things to do in Annecy, Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes: The Best Points of Interest & Landmarks
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.
