Annecy: Celebrate The Picturesque Lakeside City
Beautifully situated at the tip of Lake Annecy and majestic mountains, Annecy, France is considered the “Pearl of French Alps”. Whimsical canals are also within the city and, sometimes, it is referred to as the “Venice of the Alps”. The city is known for manufacturing silk and, later on, it developed tourism around the lake - building resorts, cultural attractions, castle renovations and fine art museums. The colorful streets of Annecy are decorated with pastel houses and bright flower boxes that will mesmerize every visitor. The smell of freshly baked croissants and tasty gelatos are so enticing not to try.
Best Time to Visit
On August, the city will welcome the grandest pyrotechnic show of Europe during the Lake Annecy Festival. The lakeside part of the town will be fizzled with fireworks celebrated more with music, entertainment, food and lots of people. Annecy, France is best travelled during the months of June until September where the weather is pleasant and favorable for group and family tours.
