Annecy is a marvelous city. Anybody who has ever been there would agree !

L ocated only 45mn far from Geneva, 1h far from Chamonix and 1h30 far from Lyon, Annecy is right in the middle of the Haute-Savoie department, one of the most beautiful of the Rhone-Alpes region.

120 000 people live here, next to a 27km²-wide iced-original lake. This is the joining point for the cleanest water in Europe, mountains, air... life in a word !

This lake is a main asset for the city that organizes each year a well-known feast with major fireworks.

Annecy is said to be the second most expensive city in France, after Nice. This doesn't prevent numerous tourists of mostly european countries from coming, especially during Summer. Dutch women and German girls enjoy getting tanned on the beaches all around the lake. It adds beauty to this already grandiose place.

My advice is to have a closer look at theTouristic Department or make a tour of Annecy.
