Annecy is a small French town on the eastern part of France, close to the Swiss border and 40km from Geneva. It is considered an alpine town, acting as a gateway to the French alps and the iconic Mont Blanc.

After being in Paris for a week, my wife and I took a train to visit Annecy. It is a little quaint town that is compact and best explored on foot, so that you can see more of the marvellous medieval town, as well as the fortresses.
