老二连:“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.”
Open tomorrow at 10:30-18:00 (admission ends at 17:15)
老二连:“The Island Palace is located on a small island in the river in the center of the old town of Annecy. It is a small triangular castle built in 1132. The Island Palace was originally the residence of the lord of Annecy, and soon became the administrative headquarters of the Count of Geneva. Later, it became a court, mint and prison. Now there is a small museum here to showcase the local history.”
老二连:“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.”
小思文:“The Love Bridge is the most beautiful scenery on Lake Annecy. At sunset, the bridge attracts many tourists from all over the world to enjoy the beautiful sunset. The surrounding lake water and plants are very clean and tidy. It is a perfect resort.”
Nachtisch:“The United Nations Office at Geneva (UNOG) is located in the historic Palais des Nations, the second largest UN centre after the UN Headquarters in New York. The facility is an outstanding testimony to twentieth-century architecture and is situated in the beautiful Parc Ariane in Geneva, Switzerland.
The Palais des Nations is one of the largest diplomatic conference centres in the world. Around 8,000 meetings are organised every year. Most of the meeting rooms date back to the original building of the Palais des Nations in the 1930s.”
小思文:“The Patek Philippe Museum is also a very precious place. There are many varieties of watches. Many of the Patek Philippe watches are made by hand by master craftsmen. You can appreciate the cultural characteristics of many watches with a century-old history.”

[Fun] The weather was overcast and rainy that day, so bringing a brightly colored umbrella and jacket for photos was a real treat!”

BerylOng:“20 mins walk from the old town passing by the beautiful lake side where people play, swim, fish and do boating activities. The hotel is a fine resort located in front of the lake giving a superb view of the area if your room is facing the lake itself. Good service standards provided by the hotel including valet parking which is very convenient. A very relaxing and upmarket hotel more than 4* standards.”
