• •Palais de l'Isle — a 12th-century castle on a tiny island in the Thiou canal, shaped like the prow of a ship, once a prison and courthouse, now a history museum
• •Lake Annecy and lakeside gardens — one of Europe's purest lakes surrounded by Alps, with waterfront gardens, swimming beaches, and a cycling path circling the 14-kilometer shoreline
• •Old Town canals — pastel-hued arcaded streets along flower-lined canals earning Annecy the nickname Venice of the Alps, with twice-weekly markets since the Middle Ages
• •Chateau d'Annecy — a medieval castle above the old town housing a regional museum with alpine natural history, local art, and views over the lake and surrounding peaks
• •Pont des Amours — a wrought-iron footbridge spanning the Vassé canal at the entrance to the Jardins de l'Europe, a popular spot for lovers with lake and mountain views

• •Gorges du Fier — a dramatic limestone gorge walkway just outside Annecy, with a narrow metal pathway suspended above churning waters
• •Roc de Chere — a forested nature reserve on the lake's east shore with hiking trails through rare habitats and hidden lake viewpoints
