After our week in Provence it was on to Lake Annecy and the French Alps. Annecy is also the name of the town, which is located at the north end of the lake. Surrounded by mountain peaks, the bright blue translucent water paints a beautiful picture. The lakefront was packed with swimmers, paddleboats, sailboats, speedboats and those lining up for a cruise around the lake. In town, several canals branch off from the lake and snake their way through the cobbled pedestrian streets. We expected a little cooler temps up in the mountains, but with more warm weather we spent most of our time just playing at the beach.
