“The Little Venice of the Alps”, Annecy, its historic centre and its turquoise lake have all the ingredients you could wish for to discover nature, pamper your body and indulge in local flavours.

As you stroll through the town’s paved and pedestrian streets, you will be spoilt for choice of local shops and craftsmen, including a cheese-maker boasting the Best Craftsman of France label. Watch the world go by from the typical cafés, admire the work of the ubiquitous painters and artists or explore its many attractions.

In the summer, numerous water sports activities are offered on the lake while the winter snow makes the nearby resorts a magnet for everyone from novice to seasoned skiers.
