As we arrived in the early evening, we explored by foot in Annecy, a charming town nestled by a crystal-clear lake and surrounded by the majestic French Alps. Known as the “Venice of the Alps,” Annecy captivated us with its cobblestone streets, pastel-colored buildings, and serene canals. We spent about 2 days exploring the old town, indulging in local cuisine, and relaxing by the lake.
