Annecy Holiday
 |
Pont des Amours, Annecy |
Overview: Situated 80 miles (129km) east of Lyon, the holiday destination
of Annecy has a magical setting on the shore of Lake Annecy at the
foot of the Alps. It has been called the Venice of the Alps because
of the web of canals that cut through the Annecy old town.
Annecy is probably the best base for a holiday in the Haute-Savoie
region. Just six miles (10km) to its west is Gorges du Fier, a
dramatic river gorge. A gangway takes visitors through a narrow
gully that has been cut by a torrent of water over the eons; you
can hear the roar of the river below. Emerging from this labyrinth,
you'll be greeted by a huge expanse of boulders. The site is closed
to the public between mid-October and mid-March. Visitors can also
take a cruise on the ice-blue lake for which the town is
famous.
