Annecy
Unsurprisingly, Lake Annecy, known as little Venice, is one of the most popular holiday destinations in the Alps; the stunning clear waters of the lake surrounded by majestic mountain scenery and the quaint cobbled streets, intersected by the narrow canals and bridges of historic Annecy. A great place to absorb the french culture, sitting in a waterside cafe or take a gondola to see the town from another perspective.
