Things to do in Annecy

Stroll around the charming old town
Start out by strolling through the cobbled streets of Vieille Ville, the charming old town. Swing by the medieval Château d’Annecy, a museum containing regional artefacts, a natural history exhibit, and exquisite furniture made with Alpine wood. This restored castle is considered a national monument as it was once home to the Counts of Geneva and the Dukes of Genevois-Nemours. Another national monument in town is the 15th-century Église Saint-Maurice, a fine example of Gothic style architecture.
Take a day trip to Lake Annecy
Annecy’s location near the Alps makes it the perfect base camp for your journey into the mountains. Drive down to Lake Annecy, an azure blue lake overlooking the snow-capped mountains in the distance. Pack a picnic and spend a sublime afternoon with family or friends.

For creative dishes using super-fresh, upmarket ingredients and served in a cosy and homey ambience, try Une Autre Histoire. Similarly, Le Bistro du Rhône is an arty and quirky restaurant that uses seasonal ingredients from the surrounding mountains to make innovative dishes. For delicious wood-fired pizza, simple pasta and Italian desserts like tiramisu, head to The Little Italy. They have a trattoria with a terrace. Last but not least, we highly recommend L'Esquisse, which features delectable modern variations on French Alpine home cooking, paired with regional wines.
