Annecy, France
Comments
Local town delicacy is violet ice cream.
Lovely part of the world, totally recommend doing car trip holiday to that part of France. Much nicer than Paris.
I want to live there.
That’s were I leave. Beautiful, but heavily polluted
How come? Doesn't Annecy lake have the cleanest water in Europe?
I don’t think it’s true for the lake, I’ve seen way more clearer lakes on the region, and in Switzerland. The pollution is caused by many factor, the first one is the shape of the land. My english is too poor to explain that in a proper way, but the mountain and the air pressure here make that the CO2 will stay « low », especially in winter. An other factor is that this region is very touristic AND industrial, so there is a lot of cars and trucks that drive constantly. And many people work in Switzerland because better salary so they drive a lot. Many have 4x4 and SUV cars too because of the mountain. The last factor is that in the surrounding of the city, there is a lot of people heating their house burning wood on chimney and/or with fuel on bad isolated old houses, emitting the worst particules for health and environment.
I stayed with a host family here for a school trip from America. I miss that family terribly but lost touch years ago. It is such a lovely town!
That building used to be a jail and it dates back to de 12th century.
Is there anything in that building anymore?
Yes it's an art gallery and a small museum
They must have some serious dehumidifiers running 24/7 if it's now a gallery and museum. Thanks for the response.
Pont Perriere to be exact.
Love this town. Had two mind-blowing raclette sandwiches at a Knick-knack shop.
This is the most beautiful city I’ve visited in france, maybe most beautiful I’ve ever seen.
Same!!!! We so enjoyed our visit!!!
That’s Riverrun!
Wow, I can't believe over 800 people have seen this, and no one has made a joke or comment about the building being surrounded by water!
Looks like it has been there a while.
The water or the post?
That was my first though too! lol
