The city of Annecy, the "Venice of the Alps", is located between a turquoise blue lake and majestic mountains, in the heart of the Haute-Savoie department in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. With its feet in the water, Annecy borders the lake - one of the purest in Europe - and is criss-crossed by numerous canals. An ideal destination in spring and summer for nature lovers, water and mountain activities, but also for good food and festivities.
