Annecy is often named as the Alpine Venice, a gem in the heart of Haute-Savoie. The heritage-filled old town radiates an old-world allure, with its tiny rough-stone lanes and vibrant pastel-colored buildings intersected by canals. Every edifice in the town holds its unique tale, and many of them 16th to 17th-century structures that now showcase tones of peach and rose, have been converted into dining establishments. Visit the imposing Catholic places of worship adorned with stunning stained glass, majestic organs, and vintage artworks.
