What Makes Annecy So Special?

Join us for a full walking tour of Annecy, the alpine city often called the “Pearl of the French Alps”. Known for its crystal-clear lake, medieval old town, and romantic canals, Annecy is one of the most beautiful and visited cities in the south of France. In this video, we explore the heart of the old town step by step — from the iconic Palais de l’Île and Château d’Annecy, to Notre-Dame de Liesse, Saint-Pierre Cathedral, and the Basilica of the Visitation overlooking the city. Along the way, we wander the lively market streets, stroll the lakeside promenade, cross the famous Pont des Amours, and even take a swim in Lake Annecy. We’ll also share insights into Annecy’s rich history, from its Roman roots to its medieval growth, as well as what daily life looks like in the old town today.
