Annecy is called the "venice of France" with its stunning canals and enviable position nestled between the
mountains and next to the lake. With access to excellent skiing in the Aravis moutains only 30 minutes away and the charming
resorts of La Clusaz and the Grand Bornand, Annecy is a fantastic all year round destination.
With the new fast autoroute linking Annecy to Geneva in around 30 minutes, it is an ideal time to buy property
in the area. The summer season runs from June to September and Annecy appeals to an international market as a tourist destination.
Many tourists choose to stroll through the stunning old town and along the canals littered with cafes and
restaurants. There are some renowned restaurants in the beautiful lakeside villages of Tailloire and Veyrier and the area
is popular with Parisians who come over in August and rent many of the lovely chalets and houses along the lake. There are
fantastic opportunities for all types of watersports and activities such as hiking, mountain biking and paragliding.
