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.

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.

Greenway along the shore of Lake Annecy

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

It is probably one of the most beautiful greenways in France! It offers incredible views of the lake with turquoise waters and the mountains. Along the slope, you will find several cafes, restaurants and beaches.

Please note, this is not a cycle path strictly speaking since its status as a greenway also allows rollerbladers, walkers, and even horse riders. So moderate your speed!

View of Lake Annecy

Highlight • Viewpoint

The bike way around Annecy’s lake is beautiful and safe for anyone but can be super busy, avoid peak hours if you can and want to enjoy it as much as you can, and remain alter as pedestrian, chill bikers and fast road cyclist share the same trail
