What travelers loved
Annecy is stunning, the canals and flowers everywhere made it feel like a fairy tale town. Our driver gave us plenty of free time to wander and take photos.
The lake was such a beautiful turquoise color, didn't expect that in France. Loved having a private driver so we could go at our own pace.

Lovely town, quite busy on the weekend we visited but our driver still found us quieter spots along the canals for photos.

Booked through gotripnow.ch and everything was seamless. The Palais de l'Isle was such a unique sight, right in the middle of the canal.
