When you hear about Annecy , the first thing that comes to your mind is this postcard image: the lake’s translucent water reflecting the mountains surrounding it. It’s really the #1 tourist attraction in town.

For sure, Lake Annecy (Lac d’Annecy in French) is the first thing you will want to see when you arrive, so let’s start your trip in Annecy by a small walk on the lake’s shore. You will finally be able to see the crystal clear, lagoon like water and the beauty of the place by yourself!

You can for example start your stroll starting from Paquier , the huge lawn boarding the lake, and go on the right to the Jardins de l’Europe (Gardens of Europe).

With this itinerary, you will go through one of the top places in Annecy, the Pont des Amours (lover’s bridge), with, like the one in Paris, has “love locks” tied to it.

The jardins de l’Europe are very nice for the lake view of course, but also for the huge and magnificent multi centennial trees you can find there.

On the other side of Paquier (left side), you can go to the Imperial Palace gardens, for sure the most luxurious hotel in Annecy .

It’s located at the border of Annecy’s adjacent town, Annecy le Vieux, which, despite it’s name, is not and shouldn’t be confused with the old town of Annecy.

You can keep going on the lake shore to find a beach as well as the starting point for many nautical activities to do on the lake. I will tell you everything about them a bit later in the article.

A cool way to discover the place is to choose a Segway stroll, a nice activity to do on Lake Annecy shore . Even if you have never tried before, it’s a great place to start as the area around the lake is a pedestrian only area.

Trips are offered from 30 minutes (around 17€ per person) to 2 hours (around 55€ per person). It can be a great activity to do with your family!

I strongly recommend you to book your Segway tour in advance. It’s more convenient, as you can do it directly online by clicking here.

The sportier will for sure enjoy to do a bike ride around Lake Annecy.

It’s very simple, just click on the button below! Bike rental starts from 18€ a day only, so it would be a shame not to take advantage of it:

For those with an adventurous spirit and big thrills enthusiasts , I strongly recommand you to book a paragliding session above Lake Annecy .

The view is just crazy, no wonder why Annecy is the most famous paragliding site in Europe , and one of the best in the world!

Many companies are providing this service, starting from 95€ for 15/20 minutes . You can even chose if you want a big thrill acrobatic flight or something calmer.

The paragliding session usually starts from Forclaz pass (col de Forclaz in french) or the small town of Talloires and it should be booked in advance. Doing paragliding in Annecy is the best way to discover this sport!

For me, it’s a really a “must do” tourist attraction in Annecy.

The best paragliding session in Annecy can easily be booked online by clicking the button below.

As it’s the most popular activity to do in Annecy , you need to book it as soon as possible , else there are good chances that it will be fully booked.

To discover Lake Annecy and its surroundings from another angle, you should go on the lake itself!

To do so, you have several options.

For example, you can rent a pedal boat (about 12€ per half hour) or a motor boat without license (starting from 30€ per half hour). Don’t forget to book it in advance, as Annecy is very touristy during summer.

If you want to discover Lake Anny by boat while eating a good lunch or diner , you can also take the restaurant boat “Libellule” from Annecy.

There are 2 departures per day , one at 12h and the other at 20h. The round trip takes around 2h30. For 65€, you will have the mini cruise and a 3 courses menu (starter, main course, dessert).

The Annecy boat company also offers commented cruises lasting from 1 to 2 hours. You can find more information on the official website (in French).

If you want to enjoy Lake Annecy on a boat far from the other tourists , you should opt for a private boat trip!

You will rent a boat with a skipper that will take care of showing you the best spots of the lake.

The great thing is that you can choose the type of boat you prefer and then simply relax and enjoy a perfect day!

As you can imagine, this type of VIP day on Lake Annecy is extremely popular, so you should rent your boat with skipper as soon as possible . It would be a shame to miss this day because all boats are already rented!

And if you have a boat license, you can simply rent a boat by clicking here to enjoy the lake for the whole day and go where you want!

If you are looking for what to do in Annecy , enjoying the numerous nautical activities can be a good choice!

My favorite adrenaline pumping activities on the lake are for sure water-skiing, wakeboarding and wake surfing.

Even if you’re a beginner, no problem, they will teach you the basics and make sure you enjoy your session!

To book, simply click on the button below:

And if you’re looking for something more relaxing, renting a stand up paddle is my favorite way to explore a part of Lake Annecy. It really feels great to paddle on this beautiful lake surrounded by mountains.

You need to click here to book your board.

Of course just go swim or get a tan in one of Lake Annecy beaches!

In addition to the lake, the city of Annecy is also famous for it’s beautiful old town and the main canal going through it. That’s why the town is also known as the Venice of the Alps (la Venise des Alpes in french). It’s really one of the highlights of the city.

With it’s cobbled streets and arches, the Annecy old town is for sure a must-see!

It’s the place where you can take the famous picture with “l’écluse fleurie ” (the flower tidegate on the Thiou canal) or the palais de l’Isle (Isle palace), located between 2 canals.

Don’t hesitate to wander in the small alleys and to follow the canal along the Louis-Lachenal promenade .

With many areas in the shade, it’s a very nice small walk to do in summer when it’s very warm!

It’s also in Annecy old town that you can find most of the city’s restaurants (touristy, but some of them are very good), as well as all the small souvenirs shop where you can buy local things as well as the superb (a bit of irony maybe!) placemat with the picture of the lake.

You will also find some typical french shops with amazing Haute-Savoie cold cuts and cheese.

About awesome local food , if you are lucky enough to be in Annecy on tuesday, friday or sunday morning, you should definitely go to the old town market.

It takes place next to the canal, and don’t hesitate to bargain a bit on local products : Maybe you will get a free dry sausage if you buy a few!

Taking a stroll in Annecy old town streets is nice, but doing so while eating the best ice cream in town is even better! Yep, there is an excellent ice cream shop in Annecy: Le glacier des Alpes .

It’s even considered to be one of the best in France. They offer more than 45 flavours, so the hardest part is to chose and stay reasonable!

Annecy is also the perfect place to eat a good tartiflette , croziflette (quite similar to tartiflette, but made with crozets, pasta from Savoie), cheese fondue , diots de Savoie (sausages) or, of course, fishes from the lake like perch, trout or arctic char.

You like wine and cheese?

In that case, you should really participate to this tasting workshop led by a sommelier and a Master Cheesemaker of France , no less!

During the workshop, you will taste 5 wines accompanied each time by a different cheese (Tomme, Beaufort and Reblochon among others!).

You need to book this activity in Annecy by clicking here.

Another thing to see in Annecy is the Castle museum. It’s located at the top of the small hill and you can easily walk there from the old town.

For adults, the entrance price is 5.5€. At this price, you will be able to visit the château d’Annecy as well as the temporary exhibitions. It takes around 1h to visit, but let’s be frank: the view from the castle is the main interest!

If you’re lucky enough to be in Annecy during summer, you will for sure want to take a dip in the beautiful crystal clear waters of the lake!

Here are the best beaches in Annecy and around the lake:

• The beach of the Imperial , on the Avenue d’Albigny. Paid beach.
• Marquisats beach , on the west bank of the lake. Free of charge.
• Albigny beach , the largest beach on Lake Annecy. Free access, in Annecy-le-Vieux.

• Menthon Saint-Bernard beach with playground, volleyball and petanque courts. Paid beach.

In addition to paragliding (which needs to be booked here! ), you can also do :

• Hang gliding, to feel even more like flying like a bird! From 95€ for a discovery flight.
• A glider flight , from 180€. The departure is from Albertville, 45 minutes from Annecy. Flying over the mountains in total silence is truly an unforgettable experience!
• Canyoning: you can choose between several formulas and different canyons on O’Speed Canyoning website. They are open all year round and also offer Ice Canyoning sessions in winter!
• A Via Ferrata trail , to explore the cliffs and mountains!
• An introduction to rock climbing

• A hot-air balloon flight above Lake Annecy to enjoy a magnificent view
• A flight in a two-seater helicopter to live a unique experience
• A ride on an electric skateboard on the shores of Lake Annecy
• Tree climbing, a great activity to enjoy with your family during your stay in Annecy!

And if you wonder what to do in Annecy in winter , you can maybe try snowshoeing . These 4 to 7 hours hikes are a great way to discover the snowy landscapes around Annecy! You can enjoy snowshoeing from December to March.

You can find more information about this activity by clicking here.

As I was telling you earlier, Annecy’s nickname is “the Venice of the Alps”, because of the canals you can see in the old town.

But Annecy borrowed something else from the famous Italian city: it’s famous carnival!

Every year, generally at the beginning of march , hundreds of people dressed with magnificent costumes parade in the street. Several activities related to make-up or masks creations can be done in Annecy during the Venetian Carnival.

A very beautiful tourist attraction!

The international Animated Film Festival takes place every year in June in Annecy .

Professionals of the industry from all other the world are showcasing their movies, ranging from 3D animated graphics to traditional animations and some very original creation (stop motion clay based animation, Chinese shadows theatre etc…).

A great thing about this festival is that every evening, a movie  projection is organised on the Paquier lawn , and everyone can enjoy it!

If you are lucky enough to be doing your trip to Annecy at this period, it’s really perfect for an evening with the kids (or without !)

Another must-see for locals and tourists is the Annecy Lake Festival . This amazing pyrotechnic show takes place every year on the first Saturday of August and is the biggest in Europe .

Fireworks are shot off from Lake Annecy and stands are built everywhere around Paquier so everyone can enjoy it. There are around 46 000 paid seats, but of course, you can view it from anywhere!

Anyway, a good advice et to hunt for a good viewing spot quite early , as the show attracts more than 100 000 spectators every year. You can imagine that the best spots are taken quite fast!

For more info and seat booking, you can have a look a Annecy official website (in french) .

After visiting Annecy, you will probably want to discover the surroundings. Here are the 5 best things to do around Annecy:

15. Going for a hike around Annecy

Considering Annecy is located at the heart of the French Alps , one of the top thing to do is to go for a hike in the mountains surrounding the city. Here are a few of my favorites:

it’s the easiest hike around Annecy . Take your car, and go to the top of the Semnoz, there is lots of parking places. From there, you will have amazing viewpoints on the lake and moutains surrounding it.

In summer , you will be able to do a few hikes as well as mountain bike in the high mountain pastures, and in winter , you can enjoy sledge, ski and snowshoe.

If you want to get some thrills, I strongly advice you to book your downhill mountain bike session at Semnoz, it’s amazing! (No previous experience needed!)

This hike starts from the town of Annecy le Vieux and Veyrier. You can walk for a few hours without major difficulties and you will be protected from the heat in summer as most of the paths are in the forest.

The great part of this hike is that you will benefit from an amazing view on all Lake Annecy.

It’s also possible to go directly next to the top of Mount Verrier with a car , by the “col des contrebandiers”. You will then have to do a short walk to go to the lake viewpoints.

For a short walk with a nice view on the lake , I suggest you to follow the signs to the “Talabar” , a small meadow with one the best views of Annecy.

This hike around Annecy is for experienced hikers , as the last part is quite hard, with chains, cables, ladders and quite slippery rocks. From there, you will have a great view on the lake as well as the Mont Blanc.

Properly speaking, this is not a hike, but rather a short walk in a nice natural site at about 10km from Annecy.

Result of the water erosion on rocks, the 25m deep gorges du Fier can be visited thanks to the footbridges installed all along the torrent. At the end of the walk, don’t miss the “sea of rocks”.

The site is closed from October to March and is then open everyday. The ticket price is 5.70€ for adults and the visit takes around 1 hour.

Around the lake of Annecy, you can also visit some charming villages, among which:

• Annecy-le-Vieux: not to be confused with the “Vieil Annecy”, which is the old town! There, you will find the beach of Albigny and the restaurant “Le clos des sens”, 3 stars in the Michelin Guide.
• Veyrier du lac, 5 km from Annecy, located at the foot of Mont Veyrier, a popular place for its hiking trails offering superb views over Lake Annecy
• Menthon Saint Bernard , which houses a magnificent 12th century castle that you can visit. You can find more information here
• Talloires, located in a small bay of lake Annecy, is a very photogenic village that inspired Paul Cézanne for his painting “The blue lake”.
• Duingt , a village known for its 2 castles
• Saint Jorioz, where you will find the only sandy beach of lake Annecy.

The first place you can visit near Annecy is Geneva. This famous swiss city is located only 30 minutes away from Annecy , close to the French border.

Like the city of Annecy, it’s situated on the shores of a large lake : Lake Geneva .

Here are the best places to visit in Geneva:

• The old town , featuring a few must-see tourist attractions, such as St Peter’s Cathedral of Geneva.
• The Jet d’eau, symbol of the city
• The Parc de la Grange and the Parc des Eaux-vives, on the edge of the lake
• A stroll next to the lake or a cruise on Lake Geneva .

If you want to visit Geneva, you should read my detailed article: The 23 best things to do in Geneva .

You prefer to discover the mountains around Annecy ?

No problem!

Let’s head to Chamonix and the Mont-Blanc , only 1h10 away. It’s in my opinion one of the best places to visit around Annecy!

First, you should take the Aiguille du Midi cable car to discover an exceptional view over the entire Mont-Blanc massif.

Then opt for a ride on a rack train to reach the largest French glacier: the “Mer de Glace” . There, you can visit the famous Ice Cave and its collection of ice sculptures.

And if you want to discover amazing winter sports, you should try one of these 2 activities:

• An introduction to winter mountaineering in Chamonix
• Climbing an Icefall : A winter sport you should try at least once in your life!

No matter what you plan to do, you should end the day with a good Savoyard dish at a restaurant in Chamonix. Tartiflette, croziflette, fondue, local cheese… You will have lots of things to try!

Still on the shores of Lake Geneva, you should visit:

• Yvoire, a pretty medieval village listed as one of the most beautiful villages in France. You will be able to discover its castle and small local craft shops.
• Evian-les-Bains, a small but world famous town known for its mineral water . The walk in the centre and along the lake is very pleasant.

If you have only 1 day to visit Annecy , you will have to make concessions! To make the most out of your day in the Venice of the Alps, I recommend you the following things to do :

• For a good start, take a stroll on Lake Annecy shore
• Then go to Annecy old town to see the canals and Annecy castle museum
• For the lunch, you can eat something in the old town (the famous local “tartiflette” if it’s not too hot!) and finish with one of the amazing ice cream from the Glacier des Alpes
• In the afternoon, you should try to do one of the nautical activities available on Lake Annecy like wakeboard , water ski, paddle boat or stand up paddle!
• To end your day in style, go for a paragliding session and enjoy the amazing view of Annecy from the sky!

In 2 days in Annecy , you will have the time to go for one of the nice hikes you can do in the mountains around the city!

In addition to the 1st day program, I suggest you to go to the Semnoz and maybe do this hike (in French) that offers a superb view on the lake.

For the most adventurous among you, the La Tournette hike is a great alternative to have a memorable day!

If you choose a short hike, you can finish the day at the beach , next to Annecy le Vieux and enjoy the lake’s crystal clear water.

And if you want to do something fun at Semnoz, the downhill mountain biking session is really awesome! You need to book it here.

Y si quieres hacer algo divertido en Semnoz, la sesión de ciclismo de montaña es realmente impresionante. Tienes que reservarlo aquí.

if you have 3 days in Annecy , you will have the time to go around the lake and maybe spend one night in of the the small towns like Talloires or Menthon-Saint-Bernard.

Take the opportunity to do a few pictures of the castle of Menthon-Saint-Bernard. Depending on the day and season, you can even visit it (more info on their website )

Another very photogenic place is Duingt castle , on the other side of the lake.

And if you are visiting the region with friends, why not go for example do some tree climbing in an adventure park or paintball in the forest , near Annecy?

My husband and I spent a few nights in Annecy at the beginning of September of 2019. Besides the fairytale-like charm of the town and the wonderful pastries, my favorite memory is the outside dance by the lake with a live band. Someone told me they do it every Sunday evening in the summer. I’m thinking of going a little later in September, and I’m wondering if the dance continues into September. Do you know? Thank you.

Hello Bonnie,

I can’t tell you if this type of show will be offered in September. It’s a bit too far away. Perhaps you can send a message to the Annecy tourist office. They might be able to tell you about the events to come this year.

Have a nice trip to Annecy!

15 Best Things to Do in Annecy (France)

One of France’s prettiest medieval towns is right on the shore of Europe’s cleanest lake. It just doesn’t get much better than this. Annecy is laced with canals and the historic streets have fun passageways darting off to the sides.

The lake is glorious, bordered on all sides by mountains and with crystalline waters that call your name on hot summer days.

Half the time you may lose yourself staring at scenery – Lac d’Annecy has a year-round gossamer haze – but there’s a breathless amount of activities to do and places to see. This is Europe’s outdoor sports capital after all.

Lets explore the best things to do in Annecy :

1. Lac d’Annecy

Whatever your reason for coming to Annecy, “Europe’s Cleanest Lake” will be in your plans.

Lake Annecy has the quality of staying peaceful at all times of year despite all the activity on its shores If you come in summer you can’t be blamed for passing hours lazing by the transparent waters at one of several beaches around the shore, in awe of the Alpine landscapes.

Two beaches, Plage la Brune at Veyrier-du-Lac and Plage Municipal in Saint-Jorioz, have earned the Blue Flag for the undeniable quality of the water and the facilities like restaurants, play areas and lifeguard patrol.

2. Vieille Ville

Annecy has earned the eminent French label “Ville d’Art”, and just within its compact old town there are 21 historical monuments to be found.

The medieval core on the Thiou River is extremely pretty, with canals, arcaded pedestrian streets and exciting little passageways that have you fumbling for your camera every few steps.

You could put yourself in the capable hands of a guide for the complete inside track on the city’s history and the unexpected vestiges that constantly catch your attention.

On Tuesday there’s a food market in the old centre, which adds real colour and energy to the old streets.

3. Jardins de l’Europe

It’s hard to conceive of a municipal park blessed with better panoramas anywhere in the world.

The Jardins del’Europe are in front of Annecy’s city hall, and before the embankment and Vassé canal were built had actually been a marshy island outside the city.

In the 19th century the city plotted an English garden, and more than 600 deciduous trees were planted around the statue of the pioneering chemist Claude-Louis Berthollet.

In any weather you have to walk down to the water, sit back on a bench and feast your eyes on the peaks around the lake, out to La Tournette high above the southeast shore.

4. Pont Des Amours

There are many picturesque bridges in Annecy, but when it comes to scenery none can compete with this one on the lakeside.

Pont des Amours spans the Vassé canal and connects the Jardins de l’Europe with the Jacquet Promenade, a walkway blessed with yet more sumptuous views of the lake and mountains.

The story goes that any lovers who kiss while on the bridge will be together for life.

The mountain vistas make it a very romantic spot, but you should also look back towards the city along the canal, which is flanked by trees and has charming jetties where small boats are moored.

5. Palais de l’Île

You won’t be the first person to have stood on Pont Perrière for a photo of this fortified palace in the middle of the Thiou, but you have to do it anyway.

Although it has been rebuilt several times in its extensive history, the complex dates to the 1100s and for hundreds of years it was a residence handed down the noble families of the County  of Geneva.

From the 17th century the palace became a prison, and then after the Revolution it had many different functions, as a home for veterans, a warehouse and barracks.

Today it contains exhibitions about Annecy’s architecture and heritage, and you can take a look around the old courtroom, dungeon, cells and chapel.

6. Cathedral and Basilica

Saint-Pierre Cathedral is also admired for the way it interacts with the water, and is partly built over the canals.

Saint-Pierre is a lovely renaissance building, constructed in the 1500s, and if it seems a bit subtle for a cathedral that’s because it wasn’t made one until 1825. Make the steep walk up to the Basilique de la Visitation, high to the south of Annecy.

The tower of this 19th-century church can be seen for miles around and possesses one of the best local views of the city.

Inside are the tombs of two saints, Francis de Sales and Jane Frances de Chantal.

7. Château d’Annecy

The seat of the Counts of Geneva, Château d’Annecy dates to between the 12th and 16th centuries, and there are a few good reasons to climb the steep hill up to this building.

You can spend a while pottering around the castle’s towers and halls, and there’s a museum giving you a window on the lifestyle of the itinerant rulers of Savoy.

Poke through the large displays of medieval furniture, beds, chest chairs and tables, as well as more precious illuminated manuscripts.

A lot of visitors opt not to enter the château and instead admire one of the definitive views of Annecy from the terrace.

8. Gorges du Fier

Minutes west of the city is a marvellous river canyon cut by the Fier River.

Even in the French Alps, which are famous for their natural wonders, the gorge is a must-visit.

That’s down to how accessible it is: There’s a series of walkway suspended 25 metres above the river letting you marvel at the odd shapes create by many years of erosion.

In places the gorge is so narrow that the cliffs almost meet overhead, and you’ll be able to touch the rock face on the other side.

There’s also a free path delivering you to a natural pool where people come to sunbathe and swim in the summer.

9. Château de Montrottier

Combine your trip to the Gorges du Fier with this castle, which looks down on the river.

Château de Montrottier dates to the 13th century and is open during the summer months.

The architecture is impressive, with a tall circular tower dominating the landscape.

But the big story here is the collection of Léon Mares, who was a 19th-century explorer and prolific collector.

Mares hoarded priceless items from around the world and when he passed on specified that he wanted the collection to be presented exactly as he left it.

So the 90-minute tour shows you round masses of historic tapestries, antique weapons, armour, period furniture, ceramics, glassware and the many items he acquired while travelling Asia and Africa.

10. Winter Sport

Annecy is close enough to resorts like Manigod, La Clusaz, Le Grand Bornand and Saint Jean de Sixt to make it a ski destination.

If you want a more cultured base than a typical village, Annecy is a beautiful place to return to after a day on the slopes and isn’t more than 45 minutes from any of the local ski areas.

They’re all at low altitudes and well-suited to families and newcomers: Manigod for example has 17 kilometres  of wide and an easy slopes, while Le Semnoz offers short-term lift passes by the hour or day, which obviously makes things a lot more flexible.

Highest-rate of all is La Clusaz, with the most challenging runs of all the resorts around Annecy.

11. Watersports

A big directory of companies awaits your business at Lake Annecy in the summer, providing almost any watersport under the warm July sun.

Just to reel off the list, there’s waterskiing and wakeboarding for people who need high-speed, motorised exhilaration.

But you can also push off onto these glistening waters on a paddle-boarding adventure or, if you’re really sure of yourself, try open water swimming.

Due to the easy learning curve paddle-boarding is now a hit with families.

Best of all it gives you an opportunity to look up every now and take in those views .

12. Hiking and Cycling

Around the lakeshore are a load of viewpoints with spellbinding vistas of the lake and mountains.

Getting up to these lookouts is a joy too, as you ramble through upland pasture, orchards and woodland.

Here’s a few to seek out: Le Taillefer, the Semnoz Plateau, the Laudon Circuit, the Oratory in Entrevernes and the La Frasse Pass.

All are achievable for families and you only need a pair of good shoes.

Lake Annecy also has the ultimate greenway for cyclists, starting in the city, running down the lake’s east shore and ending up in Marlens in the Fauverges Valley 35 kilometres away.

13. Local Food

Annecy is cheese heaven as the city is in four designated production areas:  Gruyère, Emmental de Savoie , Emmental français est-central and Tomme de Savoie.

And if you’re really curious about cheese you could track down  rural shops Ferme de l’Angelie and Fromagerie du Cruet selling their cheese on the farm premises, along with homemade jams and sausage.

A lot of freshwater fishers make their living around the lake and anchor their boats in the Vassé: The arctic char, perch and trout that they catch could be on your plate at one of Annecy’s fine restaurants on the same day.

14. Aix-les-Bains

An easy road trip southwest of Annecy is this spa town on the shore of Lac du Bourget, founded by the Romans and wildly popular with Europe’s wealthy in the 19th century.

They came to take the health-giving waters, and during this time fitted Aix-les-Bains with grand Belle Époque hotels, townhouses and a casino.

Whether you feel like gambling, or just to gaze awestruck at the art nouveau interiors, you need to call in at the Casino Grand Cercle.

If you need cosseting after your outdoor excursions at Lake Annecy, Aix-les-Bains is still a top-class spa resort with pools and saunas, and all the restorative treatments you could hope for.

15. Chambéry

Push on a bit further to reach this exquisite Alpine town, with an old centre  that you can’t resist exploring.

The medieval buildings, tight passageways and renaissance arcades have survived the years, but what’s great is that they’re part of a working town, and not kept like museum pieces.

The major sight is the Fontaine des Éléphants, dedicated to Benoît de Boigne, a Napoleonic military man who helped train and lead the Maratha Empire against the British in India.

The Château de Chambéry was another in the roll call of palaces belonging to the Counts of Savoy, and is still a regional government building, but open for tours.

This French Town is Known as the ‘Venice of the Alps’ With Canals, Gourmet Restaurants, and a Medieval Château

Here’s how to plan the perfect trip to Annecy, France.

Best time to visit, how to get there, getting around.

Winding canals have made Venice one of Italy’s most famous tourism darlings. However, many other destinations across Europe also have scenic waterways. You’ve likely heard of Giethoorn, affectionately known as the “ Venice of the Netherlands .” But what about Annecy? This atmospheric mountain town settled at the tip of Lake Annecy in southeastern France lures travelers with its charming old town that’s crossed by canals and bridges — hence its nickname the “Venice of the Alps” — plus heritage-rich landmarks like Château d’Annecy and Palais de I'Île, churches, museums, cafés, cozy bistros, and Michelin-rated restaurants taking alpine cuisine to new heights. It’s also well regarded for stunning scenery — a sparkling lake with sandy beaches, rivers, waterfalls, and snow-capped peaks — and the nature-oriented outdoor recreation that goes along with all that. Visitors have the choice of staying at boutique hotels, quaint guest houses, and campsites.

Whether you’re planning to stick around Annecy for a while or just stop by as part of a longer trip around the French Alps and maybe even the South of France (it’s less than four hours from Provence), it won’t take long to fall in love with this picture-perfect alpine escape.

Best Hotels & Resorts 

Rivage hôtel & spa annecy.

Rivage Hôtel & Spa Annecy occupies a prime position on the lake near several notable attractions. Besides being a convenient home base for exploring, it very much reads like a contemporary retreat with rooms that echo the natural beauty of the area, a pampering spa, and a sophisticated restaurant.  

Set in the heart of the old town a 10-minute walk from the lake, Hébé Hotel is a great place to unwind in between sightseeing, shopping, and eating without leaving the city center. The colors used throughout the interiors cue calm vibes while the clean lines, wood floors, and sleek furnishings create a cosmopolitan profile. 

Le Pélican 

So much of Le Pélican centers around the water. With a privileged perch on the banks of Lake Annecy, why wouldn’t that be the case? The property supplies the perfect vantage point to admire the placid blueness from the terraces. When you do decide to venture inside, comfy rooms and suites are equipped for restful ZZZs.   

Hotel Catalpa

Hotel Catalpa is a smart mid-range option that’s steps from the lake and public beach and a short walk from the old town. Inside the stone façade are 52 rooms replete with all the requisite comforts and a dash of French flair. There’s also a restaurant, bar, and terrace.

Best Things to Do 

Lake annecy.

One of the largest and most pristine lakes in France, Lake Annecy is fed by pure mountain springs that trickle down from snow-capped peaks. It offers sandy beaches for sunbathing in the warmer months. Watersports are a huge draw for aquatic enthusiasts who have the option of paddleboarding, wakeboarding, scuba diving, and catamaran rentals. 

Vieille Ville

Compact and exceedingly pedestrian-friendly, Vieille Ville exudes fairytale charm with cobbled streets, canals, and pastel houses ornamented by flower boxes. It’s the sort of place you don’t mind getting lost. In fact, wandering around — maybe stopping by one of the boulangeries or sitting down at a sidewalk café — is part of the laid-back allure of the old town. 

Palais de I'Île

Built on a rocky island way back in the 12th century, Palais de I'Île has served many functions over the years:  a prison, a courthouse, a minting workshop, an administrative building, a gymnasium, and a school for stone carvers. Deservedly listed as a historic monument in 1900, the original medieval structure now plays host to a museum.

Château d’Annecy

Built on a hilltop above town, the storybook Château d’Annecy was home to the Counts of Geneva back in the 13th century. Today, it houses a museum with different sections that display local furniture, sculptures, and art as well as natural science exhibits.

Jardins de l'Europe

While the Gardens of Europe sit on the shore of Lake Annecy, this tree-lined park is a destination in its own right — not just somewhere to pass through in between other waterfront activities. Designed by Henri Porreaux in 1863, this lovely green space provides the ideal spot to relax, whether that’s with an afternoon picnic or a leisurely stroll.

Best Shopping 

Annecy farmers market.

The Annecy Farmers Market operates every Tuesday, Friday, and Sunday throughout the year. That means no matter what season you decide to visit, there will be an abundance of fresh produce and regional products like salami and cheese up for grabs.  

Galeries Lafayette Annecy

The famous French department store Galeries Lafayette (perhaps you’re familiar with the flagship location on Boulevard Haussmann in Paris?) has an outpost in Annecy. It’s the place to go for contemporary and luxury designers, shoes, accessories, items for kids and men, beauty products, and home goods. 

Pâtisserie Philippe Rigollot

The first stop for many travelers keen to indulge their sweet tooth while on holiday in Annecy, Pâtisserie Philippe Rigollot is a dessert shop known for its whimsical confectionery. With decadent cakes, scrumptious fruit tarts, and delicate macarons, it’s impossible to pick a favorite. 

Chapellerie Pochat

The best souvenirs aren’t knick knacks but rather items that tell a story and have a distinctive sense of place. One of the oldest operating shops in Annecy, Chapellerie Pochat carries on century-old millinery traditions. The shelves are stocked with impeccably handcrafted hats you’ll wear forever. 

Fromagerie Pierre Gay

The French know a thing or two about cheese, and Fromagerie Pierre Gay certainly confirms that fact. Established in 1935, this small shop is chock-full of the creamiest, most delectable reblochon, chevrotin, and aged goat tomme. 

L'Esquisse

Awarded a coveted Michelin star for its innovative twists on homestyle French alpine cuisine, L'Esquisse draws foodies from near and far. Attention to detail in plating elevates the carefully selected seasonal ingredients and skilled cooking techniques. The entire experience feels upscale yet still soulful and unfussy.

Michelin-rated Cozna draws diners with its accolades that are backed up by the delicious, harvest-driven food and relaxed atmosphere. The menu changes with the season; recent standouts included smoked eel maki with cabbage and mussels, fennel, and buckwheat floating in a seaweed herb sauce.

Racines Annecy

Racines Annecy is an award-winning legacy operation with a modern mindset. Everything starts with the very best ingredients — from milk-fed veal to fresh-picked seasonal produce and herbs. Plates that look like art and, more importantly, taste divine are paired with natural wine.  

Le Bistro du Rhone

Featuring deep red booths, colorful pop art, and mood-setting lighting, Le Bistro du Rhone oozes ambiance. The gastro food hits the mark, too. Diners especially praise the venison filet mignon with red wine-poached pear and slow-cooked Iberico pork as well as desserts like brown sugar crème brûlée.

Tête de Cochon

Further evidence that bigger doesn’t mean better, Tête de Cochon is a pint-sized eatery in the heart of Annecy that’s almost always packed thanks to its artful charcuterie boards, raclette tartine, and rich rillettes alongside crusty bread, plus interesting chalkboard-inspired decor and warm, friendly service.

Many people think of the French Alps as a winter destination but Annecy proves it’s worth the journey any time of year. The colder season means access to skiable terrain and powder-dusted photo ops. When the temperature warms up, outdoor recreation in the form of lakeside strolls and boating takes center stage. The annual Annecy International Animated Film Festival takes place in June.

Annecy sits just 30 minutes from Chambéry Airport (CMF). Most travelers, however, opt to fly into Geneva Airport (GVA), located about 45 minutes away across the border in Switzerland, because it’s larger and welcomes more international arrivals. Alternatively, if you’re coming from somewhere nearby in France, it might be worth taking the train or bus since Annecy acts as a main hub for the Rhone-Alps region and the stations are conveniently located in the city center.   

Annecy is quite walkable, especially the old town and lake shore, and easy to navigate on foot. The Voie Verte, one of the oldest greenways in France, attracts many cyclists. If you’re planning to explore neighboring villages, it’s a good idea to consult the bus and train schedules. It might be worth renting a car.

Attaque au couteau à Annecy : un an plus tard qu’est devenu Henri, le "héros au sac à dos" qui a confronté l’agresseur ?

Il s’était fait connaître il y a un an lors de la terrible attaque au couteau d’Annecy le 8 juin 2023. Surnommé le "héros au sac à dos", Henri d’Anselme, 25 ans, s’était interposé entre l’assaillant et les victimes. Un an après que devient-il ?

Lors de l’attaque en juin dernier, le jeune homme effectuait son tour de France des cathédrales. Son périple l’avait conduit entre autres, à Avignon, Nîmes, Aigues-Mortes, Saint-Gilles dans le Gard ou encore à Agde, Béziers et Villeneuve-lès-Maguelone dans l’Hérault.

Une semaine avant l’attaque d’Annecy, il avait déclaré sur un site de géolocalisation être un " amoureux des cathédrales " qui partait " pendant 9 mois à travers toute la France ". Le jeune homme avait alors décidé de loger chez l’habitant en "toquant aux portes des endroits" qu’il visitait, confiait-il au Dauphiné Libéré une semaine avant l’attaque.

Animateur chez Canal +

Ce diplômé en philosophie à l’IPC et titulaire d’un master de management travaille désormais avec Canal + comme animateur afin de mettre en avant " les joyaux architecturaux " que sont les cathédrales, expliquait-il à Europe 1 en janvier 2024.

Il a d’ailleurs prévu de repartir sur les routes " à la belle saison " pour enfin terminer son Tour de France des cathédrales.

Conférencier

Son profil LinkedIn indique qu’il donne désormais des conférences dans toute la France pour raconter son pèlerinage et son acte héroïque à Annecy. Dernièrement il a parlé lors d’une "conférence témoignage" à l’EMD Business School, une école de commerce dans laquelle il était scolarisé de 2020 à 2022.

Le "héros au sac à dos" a également donné une conférence devant " plus de 1 500 chefs d’entreprise " lors des assises nationales des entrepreneurs et dirigeants chrétiens, organisées en mars dernier à Bordeaux.

Décoré de la Légion d’honneur

En juillet dernier Henri a été décoré, aux côtés de Yassim Bounemoura et Georges Guerdner, intervenus le jour du drame à Annecy, de la Légion d’honneur.

En février dernier, le jeune homme de 25 ans confiait, dans un texte partagé sur Linkedin, avoir reçu la distinction des mains de son grand-père, général de corps d’armée.

Il expliquait ainsi que recevoir cette médaille l’avait honoré car il estimait ne pas la mériter : " Cette reconnaissance, je l’accepte pour ce qu’elle m’oblige à vivre", écrivait-il avant de conclure qu’il y resterait fidèle.

The ‘backpack hero’ who confronted Annecy knifeman

Catholic pilgrim Henri, 24, says he took inspiration from France’s 'magnificent' cathedral heritage to risk his life to spare more victims

A 24-year-old Catholic pilgrim on a tour of France’s cathedrals has been hailed as a national hero after using his rucksack to take on a Syrian knifeman.

The frenzied stabbing in a playground in Annecy left four small children, including a three-year-old British girl, fighting for their lives, along with two adults.

On Friday, reports said that the British girl, whose first name is Ettie, was no longer in a critical condition. A 22-month Dutch boy was also reportedly no longer in a life-threatening condition. Two French cousins aged two and three were also said to be stable. 

The bearded Frenchman known only as “Henri” - a philosophy graduate with a masters in management - believed it was “no accident” that he happened to be in the park when the horrifying attack took place on Thursday morning by Lake Annecy.

He said he took inspiration from France’s “magnificent” cathedral heritage to risk his life to spare more victims.

Footage of the attack in Le Pâquier playground shows the fearless Frenchman chasing the Syrian 31-year old, who has refugee status in Sweden, and swinging his rucksack at the armed assailant.

Social media users and politicians issued calls to bestow on him the Legion of Honour, France’s highest award, Henri was due to meet Emmanuel Macron on Friday afternoon as he visits victims in the Grenoble and Annecy.

In interviews on CNews and BFMTV, he said: “What I know is that I wasn’t there by chance on my path of cathedrals around France.

“I crossed the path of blood and something inside of me pushed me to act to defend the pure and the innocent - these children under attack. I don’t know [if this was divine intervention]. I just felt a great force inside me and a huge adrenaline rush. I found it totally intolerable that children be attacked in this way and I acted as I could.”

Recounting the scene, he said: “I saw the man from a distance and at first thought it was a mugging. Then very quickly understood that it was a veritable attack and that’s when I didn’t think, I rushed in. After that, it’s all very vague in my mind.

“I used what I had to scare him and make him understand he couldn’t act as he wished, which is why I chased him with my rucksack. There were several of us, other young people notably whom I salute. So he ran out of the kids’ playground and into the Pâquier park in Annecy.

“All this was very instinctive, almost animal-like. At one point he turned on me and tried to stab me. I managed to avoid these and tried to whack him with my bag, which was a total failure. Naturally, I was scared for my life at one point but above all, I was scared for the lives of others and didn’t want him to injure others.

“I pursued him until the police opened fire and he was overpowered by motorbike police officers.”

Once that happened, he said he instantly started praying for the children’s lives. Henri brushed aside suggestions he had become an overnight national hero.

“I receive lots of messages of gratitude, which touches me a lot.

“Many treat me like a national hero, which for me is a bit absurd because I just acted as all French should act. If everyone acted like I did, France would be a far safer country and we would have heroes on every street corner. All you need to do is hold your head high and see what is great and good, take inspiration from that and act accordingly.”

‘He was possessed by evil’

The assailant, Abdelmasih H, is a Syrian Christian, which is a group that has faced persecution. He shouted out “In the name of Jesus Christ” twice in English and wielded a four-inch blade during the bloody attack.

Asked about how a fellow Christian could justify such actions, Henri said: “I don’t know what he claims to believe in but what I know is that it is profoundly un-Christian to take against totally unarmed, weak innocent beings.

“ The Christian civilisation on which our country was built is indeed based on a chivalrous message to defend the widow and the orphan. In truth, that’s the true message of Christianity . And I don’t understand how one can claim to be Christian, but attack children. He was possessed by something deeply evil.”

The graduate said he had received huge support and expressions of pride from his large Catholic family.

He has received plaudits from politicians of all creeds, including the hard-Right, some of whom, such as Marine Le Pen, made a link between the attack and a “problem in handling immigration” .

‘Focus on the essential’

But he said he had no political leanings. “My commitment is towards what is beautiful. I am part of the youth that has decided to focus on the essential. Through my testimony I call on the French to focus on that and hold their heads high on what is great and good and take inspiration from that,” he said.

Henri is on a nine-month tour of France’s cathedrals and he recounts his visits on social media to his 80,000 followers.

“My wish is to show to the widest number of people the beauty of our cathedrals in France with the aim of uniting us around these magnificent architectural monuments built by our ancestors who were steeped in grandeur and from whom we should take inspiration.

“Indeed, that is why I acted. I took heart from the greatness of these cathedrals I have been visiting now for more than two months.

A Catholic mass was due to be held at 6pm in Annecy cathedral in tribute to the victims.

• Lire dans l’app
• Copier le lien Lien copié

La terre a tremblé dans la nuit de jeudi à vendredi. La plus forte magnitude enregistrée s’élève à 3,3.

Une série de séismes a été ressentie à 8 km d’Annecy, «la perle des Alpes» , selon le bureau central sismologique français, dans la nuit de jeudi à vendredi. Son épicentre se trouverait entre Dingy-Saint-Clair et Thônes, rapportent nos confrères du Dauphine Libéré .

La première secousse aurait eu lieu peu après minuit, avec une magnitude de 1,1 sur l’échelle de Richter, puis une autre secousse d’1,8, vers 6h30 et enfin une autre de 3,3 à 6h36, la plus forte, précise le réseau Renass France Séisme.

Une dernière réplique aurait été enregistrée peu après 7h. Nos confrères du Dauphiné, plusieurs habitants de Thônes auraient entendu un «grondement» , et l’une d’elles aurait même ressenti un tremblement. À Dingy-Saint-Clair, cependant, la maire n’a reçu aucun retour d’administrés pour l’heure.
