Annecy is located in the picturesque area of Haute-Savoie in the French Alps. It is a beautiful city, lined with canals, known as the "Venice of the Alps". It's a popular spot for those looking to spend a day or two in a beautiful setting. The city is home to the Fête du lac d'Annecy; a yearly festival with stalls, music and activities set against the backdrop of Europe's second largest lake. The event brings together visitors from across the region, making it an ideal time to meet with locals or explore the lake's sights. You can spend the day sipping decadent rosé from a café along the main promenade or follow walking paths along avenues of century-old linden trees. The lake also has plenty of activities for those looking for a more active day, including boat tours, waterskiing and swimming. Surrounding towns are relatively easy to reach, via buses, boats or cycling. It's an ideal spot for a relaxed getaway!
