Make your way to the picturesque town of Annecy, often referred to as the 'Venice of the Alps.' Located on the shores of Lake Annecy and surrounded by stunning mountain scenery, Annecy is a true gem of Rhône-Alpes. Start your exploration by wandering through the charming Old Town, with its colorful buildings, winding canals, and flower-filled balconies. Visit the Palais de l'Isle, a 12th-century castle that once served as a prison and now houses a local history museum. Take a boat ride on Lake Annecy to admire the crystal-clear waters and enjoy breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains. If you're feeling adventurous, you can also rent a bike and cycle along the lake's scenic cycle path. Annecy is also known for its delicious cuisine, so be sure to try some local specialties like tartiflette or raclette.
