Romantic walks in the Venice of the Alps

Getaways into nature by Lake Annecy
Le Thiou is a natural spillway for Lake Annecy and gives the waterways of the old town their Venetian allure. We suggest you start your walk at the Palais de l’Isle. This medieval building seems to cut through the river like the prow of a boat and contains a museum dedicated to the town’s history. Make sure you also visit the Musée-Château, which also showcases Annecy’s heritage. It’s just nearby at the heart of a maze of colourful little streets. Walk the arcades of Rue Sainte-Claire, admire the window boxes, then cross Le Thiou via the historic La Halle bridge. Walk for a few minutes to reach Le Vassé canal whose calm, shaded waters attract swans and ducks.
Your cheap hotel in Annecy has every advantage as it’s got easy access to public transport. It takes just 10 minutes to reach Le Pâquier, an immense stretch of greenery at the banks of Lake Annecy which serves as a gateway to the town. You might like to enjoy a picnic on the grass or go to Albigny beach at the edge of the Annecy-le-Vieux area. You can cycle there, so get on your bike and discover the town a new way! If you’d like to explore the lake itself, you’ll find boats at Talloires port beside Albigny beach. To cross the lake in classic style, get on one of the speedboats which link the main surrounding villages.
