After this, you will stroll through the heart of the old town to discover the pedestrian street of Sainte-Claire, still adorned with traces of its medieval past filled with colorful medieval houses, cobblestone streets, and numerous arcaded passages that contribute to its picturesque beauty. As you make your way towards the canals, you will undoubtedly catch sight of Annecy’s symbolic monument: the Palais de l’Île. This medieval building served as a prison, mint, and judicial center.

Subsequently, you will ascend to the esplanade of the Château d’Annecy, which overlooks and protects the town in all its grandeur. It offers a remarkable viewpoint of the city stretching out below, the turquoise lake, and the towering mountains.

Classified as a historical monument in 1959, Annecy Castle was the residence of the Counts of Geneva in the 13th and 14th centuries. Over the next two centuries, new developments gave the castle this singular appearance, a synthesis of medieval defensive architecture and elegance inspired by the style of the castles of Ile de France. Abandoned as a residence in the 17th century, it was used as a military barracks until 1947.
