The picturesque city of Annecy, also known as the "Venice of the Alps," is located in southeastern France. The city's rich history dates back to the Middle Ages, with well-preserved medieval buildings and cobblestone streets. The landmark of Annecy is the Annecy Castle, majestically perched on the shores of Lake Annecy. The Old Town, with its colorful buildings and small canals, provides a charming atmosphere. The Palais de l'Isle, a medieval prison on an island in the Thiou River, is another fascinating historical structure. In addition to its history, Annecy offers a breathtaking natural backdrop with the Alps in the background and the clear lake.
