With an area of ​​2,760 hectares and a length of 14.5 kms and an average depth of 42 meters in spring time, it is a unique places to relax and unwind. The evening was falling as we approached its banks and pre-Alpine peaks and we had a glimpse of the setting sun. A real treat if this place is not crowded as it tends to be in the summer. Sitting in one of the benches along the path that goes round Annecy, I spent time taking some photographs, good, fair or bad is not important. What is important is the tranquility

The shores of the lake in Annecy offer have for decades offered rental boats. It is a touristic institution. Genuine wood rowing boats have disappeared and young people cannot show off their biceps. Pedal boats, however, are abundant and a popular amusement, especially because you can have up to 4 people. The long and elegant varnished wooden boats, waiting along the canal for individualized tours and motorboats are available for rent. On the way to Swan Island tour.
