Lovers' Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The Pont des Amours is a pretty footbridge connecting the Pâquier to the Jardins de l'Europe. From there, we have a beautiful view of the Vassé canal and its small boats on one side, and of the lake and Mont Veyrier on the other.

Hiking to the mouth of the Canal de la Halle offers a serene experience where the canal meets Lake Annecy. This location offers a peaceful atmosphere, with fresh water flowing from the canal into the large body of water, creating a tranquil setting.

Magnificent view of the lake. Beware of pedestrians who can be very numerous on the edge of the lake (favor the cycle path for speed and safety).

Annecy

Highlight • Other

The “Pearl of the Alps”, the nickname of the very beautiful city of Annecy, is not usurped. It was the historic residence of the counts of Geneva in the 13th century, then of the counts of Savoy in the 15th century. Perhaps this is where its splendor comes from?

Although it is influenced by the surrounding mountains, the presence of the lake alleviates the harshness of winter. Its old town with its cobbled streets, winding canals and brightly colored houses have earned it international fame. Lake Annecy is also very popular and attracts a lot of people in summer.

There are many cycle paths in the town.

Canals of Annecy Old Town

Highlight • River

The most attractive tourist part of Annecy and also the most visited.
There are many brasseries and restaurants along the canal. However, you should take the time and compare prices.
