Lac d'Annecy, Annecy

We were up bright and early this morning, eager to see the town in the morning light before all the day trippers arrived. And we were greeted with beautiful blue skies. Annecy is beautiful any time of day but in the morning light it is spectacular. We loved wandering down the laneways and alleys, heading towards the lake, and of course Annecy’s most photographed location, Les Palais de I’Ile. We can totally understand why this is “THE” spot as it is so picturesque and I took way too many photos too as it was different every time we walked past it with the way the light hit it.

After a few hundred more photos we made our way to Lake Annecy, for a stroll along the promenade. The water is so clear and the colour is a beautiful turquoise blue, it looks so inviting. The gardens are home to numerous art works and pretty flowerbeds filled with colour. It is such a lovely way to start the day - a refreshing walk along the lake followed by a fabulous French breakfast next to Annecy’s icon. It is going to be a wonderful day.Read more
