Annecy, the Rome of the Alps and its romantic canals

Described as both the "Rome of the Alps" and the "Venice of the North", the ancient medieval city of Annecy has retained all its character. Its churches, palaces, quays, bridges, canals, round Italian-style wells, arcades, fountains, pedestrian streets... Give the city a very Venetian romantic atmosphere. The Annecy castle, which overlooks the city, houses the museum of contemporary and regional art as well as the Regional Observatory of Alpine Lakes. The 17th century Palais de L'Isle is a delight for tourists and photographers.

The name "Rome of the Alps" comes from its religious influence, which was very important in the 16th and 17th centuries. Many buildings bear witness to this: the 16th century Saint-Pierre Cathedral, which houses many works of Baroque art. The Gothic-style Saint-Maurice Church. In another register, the Basilica of the Visitation, a contemporary 20th century building, offers a superb panorama of the city and its surrounding area. The name "Venice of the North" expresses the romanticism of the canals and bridges that give the historic center of Annecy its identity.
