300 km southeast of Paris, the small, beautiful town of Annecy lies on a lake nestled against the Alps. Its year-round crystal-clear water makes visitors feel like they are lost in a fairyland.
Annecy is surrounded by mountains on one side and a lake on the other with canals running around it.
Lake Annecy is famous for its pure water formed 18,000 years ago from melted ice. This is a large lake with a width of 800m to 3.2km; an area of 27km2 and an average depth of 41m. Not only is it a favorite destination for tourists with boat rental services around the lake, Annecy is also a familiar address for those who are passionate about water sports.
Bustling life at a market
Visitors here are very excited to explore the old streets along the canal with small cafes hanging with flowers or beautiful wooden bridges just like in fairy tales, especially the romantic Pont des Amours bridge or also known as the Love Bridge. Life here seems untouched by time, still carrying a typical style of the old French countryside, wooden houses with small gardens filled with brilliant flowers.
At night, the whole city and Lake Annecy are immersed in sparkling lights like a fairy garden.
An indispensable detail in this city is the presence of a system of canals and bridges. In Annecy, you will see many images of small canals, graceful bridges and restaurants on both sides of the canal. In the center of the town, there is a small path leading up to an ancient castle located on a hill like a fairy tale. The ancient castle is not very splendid but it is very interesting because the furniture of the people who lived in the old days is still intact.
On both sides of the road are walls covered with roses; the petals are soft and colorful.
During holidays like Christmas, the town is bustling with tourists from all over who come to visit, enjoy concerts and celebrate Christmas in the ancient setting here. The carnival festival in Annecy is also an equally jubilant occasion. Every year in March, the city's people pour into the streets to have fun dancing to the music with colorful costumes and funny masks.
There is nothing more enjoyable than a walk or bike ride around the lake, breathing the fresh air, watching the blue lake water and letting your soul wander with the clouds and water.
When you come to Annecy in autumn, the scenery here is extremely romantic, nowhere gives you the perfect view in autumn like Annecy
