Annecy is not nicknamed the Venice of the Alps by chance. Its blue lake, its canals and its marina reinforce its link to water. Take a dip!

Turquoise water as clear and blue as the sky, impressive mountainous landscapes, equipped beaches… In short, Annecy is a sweet mix between the pleasures of the sea, the city and the mountains.

For the record, Annecy was shaped around water. Its town planning as well as its authenticity are tangible proof of this. A free weekend on the horizon?
