An Autumn Stroll in Annecy

The town of Annecy in the French Rhône-Alpes boasts a beautiful location surrounded by mountains near Lac d´Annecy. The lake promenade with the bridge over to Quai Jules Phillippe and the following Quai Napoléon III is perfect for a walk. When visiting an early Autumn morning a couple of years ago, a coffee and a warm croissant from a café by the lake gave me well-needed energy for a stroll through the city.

Full of culture and history, you can find something interesting to look at almost everywhere in Annecy. The pedestrian paths along the river is lined with pretty buildings and cozy eateries. Some of the best places for a stroll are the area by Lake Annecy and the river, especially Promenade Louis Lachenal from Rue de la Gare to Avenue de Chambéry, as well as the pedestrian paths in the Old Town.
