Annecy is a French beauty of town located in the southwest of the country, nearby the border with Switzerland. The chances are that when you think about Annecy, the first things that comes up in your mind is its spectacular lake of Annecy and its turquise colour. The lake feeds into the Thiou River.
The town has only 125.000 inhabitants which makes it a quiet and ideal getaway destination. One can spend the day biking around the lake and the streets of the town and never get tired of it or rent a paddleboat instead and admire the Alps from that point of view.
What one can not miss for sure is the French cuisine. Just imagine a plate with raclette, typical French cheese, local wine and an amazing view! It is priceless, indeed. Even if you finish your meal with a cup of espresso and a French dessert or ice-cream the words are unnecessary!
The people compare Annecy with Venice and it is mainly because of the cannals. It is a cannal city but twice as clean as Venice, I would add if I may. You just can’t help but fall in love with this French town.
Pont Des Amours and the Palaice De L’Isle are another important places in the town, highly recommendable to visit. In fact the whole structure of the town and the architecture is something that will impress you with no doubts.
brilliant nice photography.lovely area to see
Thank you so much! Appreciate that you’ve read my post!
the buildings are old constructed or they are constructed in such a manner that it gives the taste of old civilization.
No, they are all actually old with a great historic meaning and worth, however they are well kept and that’s why they are not destroyed in any way!
Thank you very much!
And I love Real, I do not like FC Barcelona, but city Barcelona is beautiful.
Even though I am a Real Madrid’s fan, I do appreciate FC Barcelona. I find a lot of similarities between Madrid and Barcelona therefore I love both of the cities a lot!
Really beautiful post, I want to visit this place and look myself. Europe is very expensive for me, as I am living in New Zealand . Lovely photos.
I claim it is twice as beautiful as on the photos when you visit it!
