Annecy, nicknamed the "Venice of the Alps", is a true photographic gem nestled in the heart of the French Alps. This medieval town, with its turquoise lake and romantic canals, offers infinite possibilities for photography enthusiasts.
📸 Unmissable Photography Spots
Chargement de la carte...
The Pont des Amours remains Annecy's emblem. This small wrought iron bridge from the early 20th century offers a perfect view of the lake and mountains. The best times for photography are early morning (7-9am) when the light is soft and golden, or late afternoon (5-7pm) for reflections on the water.
The Palais de l'Isle, this 12th-century castle in the middle of the Thiou, is one of the most photographed monuments in France. Position yourself on the Morens bridge for the classic angle, or explore the banks for more original framings.
The old prisons and alleys of the historic center offer typically alpine colorful architecture. Rue Sainte-Claire with its medieval arcades and Place du Pâquier with a lake view are must-sees.
For panoramic views, head to the Pâquier, this vast lawn on the lake shore offers magnificent perspectives on the surrounding mountains, particularly at sunset.
