To get to Annecy, you must first go to the old town. The Hugh River, which comes from the western mountains, flows through the entire old town and flows into Lake Annecy in front of the town hall. The main streets of the old town are on both sides of the Hugh River. Many buildings were built from the 12th to the 17th century and are well preserved. The ancient cobblestone roads still look like they did in the Middle Ages, and most of them have been opened up as pedestrian streets.
The small streets along the river are full of open-air cafes, souvenir shops, hotels and restaurants, and the arcades of the buildings and the bridges across the river are full of flowers. The conical palace "Isle Palace" on the central island of the Hugh River and the Annecy Castle on the high slope at the end of the main street of the old town, Saint Clair Street, are both iconic ancient buildings in Annecy. They, together with the small streets, flowing water, flowers and tourists in the city, constitute a strong tourist landscape of the old town of Annecy.
Annecy is a very famous old town. The city is divided into the new town and the old town, both of which are worth visiting and playing. There are mostly ancient buildings in the old town. The roads in the city are not very wide. The best way is to walk or ride a bicycle. There are mostly stone buildings.

Due to strict environmental management measures implemented in the 1960s, Lake Annecy is known as the clearest lake in Europe. Lake Annecy has become a popular tourist destination for its famous water recreation activities. Lake Annecy was formed 18,000 years ago during the melting of the Alps glaciers. Many small rivers originating from the surrounding mountains flow into Lake Annecy for more than ten kilometers, providing sufficient water for Lake Annecy. Strolling and cycling along the shore of Lake Annecy, or swimming and boating in the lake, overlooking the rolling Alps in the distance, is undoubtedly a great pleasure in life. French Enlightenment thinker Rousseau once spent the "best 12 years" of his life in Annecy.
A natural lake where beauty and purity coexist. The melted ice and snow from the Alps eventually converge here. A large number of white swans breed here all year round, and you can also take a cruise on the lake.
