Otherwise known as the "Alpine Venice", Annecy is a gorgeous city in southeastern France that lies on the northern shore of its namesake lake. Pastel colored houses along its winding canals, the charming Vieille Ville (old town), numerous restaurants along narrow cobbled streets, all put together, make Annecy the jewel of the Haute-Savoie.
While the Palais de l'Ile and the Château d'Annecy (Annecy Castle) are important landmarks that will please any history buff, activities like boating, hiking, or even a simple picnic by the shores of the pristine lake will keep outdoor-lovers occupied. To sum up, Annecy is undoubtedly one of the best places to visit if you're looking for picture-perfect locations and a whole lot of vacationing!
