Annecy

Annecy is considered by many to be one of the most picturesque cities
of France. It has won The Most Beautiful City in France designation so
many times that it has almost become ineligible. The old city was based
on the plan of an inland Venice where water courses were frequent and
made for water transportation and protection. Near the Swiss border,
Annecy buildings have a combination of Swiss and French styles of
architecture. It's a major play ground in the summer connected to a
huge lake edged by the French Alps.
