Why Château d'Annecy matters
The château overlooks Annecy's old town and houses a small museum. Its terraces look over the red rooftops and the canals below. The lanes up to the castle are pretty on their own. Combine the climb with a wander through the narrow lanes below, then stop for a lakeside ice cream.
Talking points
- It overlooks the old town.
- A small museum is inside.
