Join me as I explore one of the most picturesque towns in France—Annecy! In this travel guide, we dive into the charm of the famous Old Town, wandering through its cobblestone streets, colorful buildings, and scenic canals.

We visit top attractions including the iconic Palais de l’Isle, the Château d’Annecy, and enjoy a delicious meal at the local restaurant L’Îlot-Savour.

Then, we head up to Col de la Forclaz for a scenic hike with breathtaking panoramic views of Lake Annecy. Along the way, we discover a popular spot for paragliding—and even try a local craft beer!

After the adventure, I check in to Les Trésoms Lake & Spa Resort, a luxurious hotel perched above the lake, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the Alpine views.

To wrap up the day, we make our way down to the lake, where I chat with a local about the true story behind the Pont des Amours (Lovers’ Bridge). And did you know Annecy hosts the world’s largest animation film festival? This town is full of surprises!
