I first came to Annecy in the Rhône-Alpes an early Autumn morning a couple of years ago. I went into a small café near Lake Annecy to have a cup of coffee and followed the French customs by ordering a warm croissant.
Annecy is surrounded by mountains and the city is situated just by Lac d´Annecy. The lake promenade is perfect for a walk. I especially liked the bridge over to Quai Jules Phillippe and the following Quai Napoléon III.
Annecy is full of culture and history and the pedestrian paths along the river is lined with pretty buildings, cozy cafés and restaurants. I found something interesting to look at almost everywhere. The area by Lake Annecy and the river, particularly Promenade Louis Lachenal from Rue de la Gare to Avenue de Chambéry, as well as the pedestrian paths in the Old Town are the best places for an easy stroll.
