The French town of Annecy is located on the shores of the same name lake, one of the purest in Europe. Many canals run through the tiny old town. Annecy is one of those really colorful medieval cities where the streets and the canals are so narrow that two people or boats can hardly pass by.

Annecy is a small but extremely busy urban space. The main canal is quite narrow, however, there is an island with a fairy-tale ship-shape palace in the middle of it. The town reminds of Switzerland not only by its architecture. It is also surrounded by the majestic Alps, hanging over the crystal surface of the lake.

The boating season in Annecy is from May till the end of September. There are 30 min or 60 min rides which cost from € 12 to € 22. Learn more at annecypromenadeenbateau.fr.
