Sights in Annecy

  1. Château d’Annecy

    Rising dramatically above the old town, this perkily turreted castle was once home to the Counts of Geneva. The oldest part is the 12th-century Tour de la Reine (Queen’s Tower). Its museum takes a romp through traditional Savoyard art, crafts and alpine natural history.

    Palais de l’Isle

    Sitting on a triangular islet in the Canal du Thiou, the whimsically turreted, 12th-century Palais de l’Isle has been a lordly residence, courthouse, mint and prison (lucky inmates!) over the centuries. Today Annecy’s most visible landmark hosts local-history displays.
