The city of Annecy has mainly been nicknamed "Venice of the Alps" and "Rome of the Alps" for several centuries. We also sometimes find the nicknames "Pearl of the Alps" and "Blue Lake". The first is high-sounding but certainly deserved.
Come and discover Annecy, one of the most beautiful cities in France! Its picturesque canals, medieval architecture and bridges give it the nickname of the Venice of the Alps. Nestled on the shores of Lake Annecy, at the foot of the mountains, the town benefits from an exceptional natural environment.
Annecy is a city in the Alps located in the south-east of France. This is where Lake Annecy flows into the Thiou. It is renowned for its old town with its cobbled streets, winding canals and pastel-colored houses. Overlooking the city, the medieval castle of Annecy, former residence of the counts of Geneva, houses a museum offering regional objects, such as alpine furniture or religious works, as well as an exhibition on natural history.
Its lake with blue-green waters and its canals that run through the old town have given it the nickname of “Venice of the Alps“. Renowned worldwide for its tourist appeal, the quality of life and its surrounding mountains, Annecy is today a tourist town which has managed to preserve its charm and authenticity to the delight of holidaymakers and which, at the same time, is active and dynamic all year round.
The old town of Annecy with its traboules, alleys, alleys, hidden passages and tangle of houses are characteristic. These different passages, even if they are sometimes dark, delight visitors and are used daily by the inhabitants of Annecy. They make it easy, quick and dry to get from one point to another in the old town.
Built near the rocky outcrop on which the castle of Annecy is built, the old town was first built in wood around the Thiou from the 11th century. Several fires destroyed it over the centuries, the last dating from the 20th century. Stone is gradually replacing wood and very beautiful arches shelter protected passages allowing from the 17th century to circulate without fear of rain. Rue Sainte-Claire is the perfect example.
