Annecy is a small and beautiful medieval town located in the southeast part of France in the Rhone-Alpes. This town is known as the "Venice of France" because of all the canals flowing throughout the city a long with the romance that fills the air when walking down the roads of Annecy. There is nothing better than walking around this town surrounded by beautiful architecture, a view of the lake, while being looked down upon by the medieval castle above you. Make sure Annecy is on your next list of places to go.
This is a picture that many people may recognize because it is one of the most photographed places in the country of France. This (in my opinion) is a perfect example of how Annecy combines both medieval times and modern times together as you have a beautiful medieval prison known as the La Vieille on the left side. If you want an amazing postcard this is the place to go.
This is a Picture of the entrance to the Château d'Annecy. It was built sometime between the 13th and 16th century and served as the house of the Counts of Geneva. It has now been restored and serves as a museum to the city of Annecy.
Of course you must make sure to hit the market in the old town of Annecy as they will have all the meat, cheese, fresh fruits, veggies etc... that you can imagine with some very friendly people. Get to know the community and build your relationships would wide. What can be better than eating while meeting new people?
Honestly I have no idea what this place is but I believe it was a bed and breakfast... It was located on a street leading up to the Château d'Annecy.
The beauty of Lac D' Annecy is truly breathtaking, by far the prettiest lake I have seen along with lake Geneva in Switzerland. You could enjoy a romantic picnic in the park while you take in the beauty of this wonderful creation.
After you have finished your romantic picnic looking at the lake it is time to get on the lake! Take a trip with Pont des Amours and get up close and personal with this jaw dropping lake! Im sure your date will love it as well.
After you have finished on the lake please please PLEASE take the time to stroll around Annecy and take in the beautiful buildings, calm canals, and reflect on life. To me this town has got to be on everyone's top destinations list.
Everything in Annecy makes life seem so simple and peaceful as if there were worries to be thought of, life is good in Annecy.
Till next time good bye from one of the most amazing towns in the world. Good bye from Annecy, France.
