The drive from Lyon to Annecy is, like most drives in France, beautiful. There are two ways to go…you can travel on the main auto routes, which are fast and efficient, or you can take the lesser roads, which are more scenic, although no less pleasant to drive. Driving through the French countryside on the smaller roads gives you an opportunity to take in the beautiful French towns and villages that dot the countryside, and affords more opportunities to stop. Either way, you’ve made a good choice.
Anney is a city of 50,000 situated at the north end of Lac D’annecy. This picturesque city has an old, historic town brimming with restaurants that line the river leading from the lake. All around the lake are small towns nestled along the shore and surrounded by towering mountains and peaks. During the winter Annecy is a ski town with many great ski hills close by. In the summer it is a water playground, with the lake offering many water activities. The mountains offer hang-gliding, parasailing and some great mountain biking.
