Day trip to Annecy

The charming lakeside town of Annecy is a reasonably quick escape from the Pays du Mont-mountains Blanc’s and valleys! Residents of the Pays du Mont-Blanc enjoy day visits here throughout the year to appreciate the change of scenery: you may attend the Carnaval Vénitien, wander around the Parc de l’Europe, or ride a horse in the Parc de l’Europe.
