We travelled 543km arriving in Annecy at 2.00pm after a couple of stops. Staying at an apartment called Les Zhirondelles which has cooking facilities and so went for a walk to buy some supplies for food. Nice to eat in for a change.
The trip down was an easy drive starting in Germany, then right through Switzerland into France.
As we arrived earlier than we expected went for a walk around the old town. What a gem of a place sitting beside a lovely lake which is six km long and just over three km wide. They call Annecy a minature Venice as it has canals running through it with the water flowing out of the lake. The water is crystal clear just beautiful. It says that the lake has the clearest water in Europe. Pictures of the town will be in my next blog
After walking through town ended up beside the lake so decided to do a boat trip around the lake for an hour which started at 5.00pm. As it was a perfect sunny day the scenery was beautiful around the lake thought that we should do it then in case the weather changes tomorrow after all the misty weather we had in Heidelberg you never know what the next day will bring but perfect here today.
This is a must see town glad we came. The pictures will tell it all taken on the lake from the boat.
