THE OLD ANNECY

Nicknamed the "Venice of the Alps", Annecy's old town seduces visitors with its cobbled streets, flower-filled canals and colorful facades 🌿🌊. To stroll beneath its arcades is to plunge into a medieval atmosphere where each street reveals a piece of history ⏳.

The Palais de l'Isle, a former courthouse in the shape of a ship's bow, sits enthroned in the middle of the Thiou and remains one of the most emblematic sites 🏰💙. A little higher up, the Château d'Annecy dominates the town and offers a breathtaking view of the rooftops and lake 👀.

Throughout the year, the old town comes alive with its traditional markets, festivals and little cafés where it's good to stop ☕🛍️. A must-see place to soak up Annecy's unique charm! ✨
