Enjoying Amazing Annecy, Annecy, France

There are certain places in the world where it's extra awesome because an annual event will bring you back every year! Annecy, France, is one of those places for us, for sure, and we are really looking forward to the huge grass volleyball tournament again with all of our friends!

Aside from the yearly event that draws us there (and for many, the annual International Animated Film Festival), Annecy can hold its own as a beautiful French town. Set on a backdrop of a lake in the Alps, it's hard not to love everything about the way Annecy just looks. Then you add in the adorable old town of canals, bridges, tunnels, and twists, and you're in a French fairy tale!

For a lovely day in Annecy, you can park your car at Parking Impérial next to the Casino Impérial Annecy. From there, take Avenue d'Albigny along the lake as you approach the town.

You will notice my favorite activity in Annecy has lots of options. You can rent nearly any kind of paddleboat to hang out on the lake for as long as you want! With even just a little bit of sunshine, this is such a fun way to spend time with friends, and you can even take a picnic lunch with you on the boat and make a full afternoon of it! ......
