    Magnificent lake. We had a great family weekend. There are so many activities to do near the lake and places to visit. The setting is splendid as well as the climate, neither too hot nor too cold in this season. The walks are accessible for young and old. Excellent way to recharge your batteries in contact with nature. I will come back for sure.

    My visit to the Lake was so amazing. Annecy is a beautiful and peaceful city. The Lake had amazing views and it was simply picturesque. The water was very clear and the rumours about the lake annecy having the cleanest water in Europe seemed true. As a tourist to Annecy you definitely have to visit the Lake. There are alot of beautiful places to take nice pictures and after having a fun time at the lake there are a lot of restaurants and bars around you have a meal or drink at very affordable prices. I will definitely be visiting again in the future as I love it so much my only challenge with the city is that it's very small so you there are no trains or trams to go around and I dont understand how the buses worked.

    Definitely you cannot visit France without visiting this place β€œlac d’Annecy”. It is a magic place with these unimaginable views. Here you can walk with your family, your dog… all of the stores are pet friendly. I prefer to visit this village in summer or in the end of spring because the weather is the most important thing to enjoy it till 100%. Also, behind the pics, there is a big park with grass to rest a bit.

    Beautiful lake with a stunning vista of the snow capped alps in the background. The water is clear and blue. A great place to take a leisurely stroll, but also seems a popular area for running or cycling around.

    A beautiful place and lake. I discovered the place while planning a trip and found that the impression of reality was even greater. The city on the lake offers everything you could wish for and is worth recommending.

    Lake Annecy claims the Europe's most cleanest and clear lake! 😍 its such an amazing clear lake with a French Alps view 😍 There are plenty of activities to do on the lake such as kayaking, swimming (the temperature maybe cold thus suggested to swim during summer) , pedal boat, etc. Must visit lake πŸ‘πŸ»

  • 5/5 Ayushi N. 11 months ago on Google β€’ 136 reviews
    Such a beautiful lake with a magnificent view. You can enjoy a picnic with your loved ones while bathing in the lake or taking a sun bath. There is a good restaurant besides the lake but the number of food outlets can be increased to provide food at all times to the tourists. Apart from that, clear water, blue vibes and the pure environment just makes your day. ❀️

    Annecy, a majestic city with its beaches for kayaking, paddle, tobogganing on the lake... Free or paid beaches, all choices are possible.

  • 5/5 alekskors 3 months ago on Google β€’ 17 reviews New
    Truly stunning. I will certainly be back for a longer stay! There are water activities to try and the little village town has a lot more shops and restaurants than I had expected! Come for no less than a full day because you will want to enjoy the leisurely lunch, do shopping and enjoy lake. The morning market is really good and the locals are very friendly compared to the rest of France. The region is famous for its dairy products.

    Lake Annecy in the South of France is incredible! We were there in spring when the flowers were blooming. The color of the water (beautifully clear!), the lush nature, the turquoise boats, the friendly locals, and the fantastic food -- everything was perfect! I will let the photos tell the story. I highly recommend a visit!

    A great, very clean lake. We were there in mid-October and were still able to swim. A cycle tour around the lake in a clockwise direction is recommended. Approx. 40 km on good cycle paths.

  • 5/5 Peter L. 1 year ago on Google
    Lake Annecy (Lac d'Annecy) + Annecy Town. The third largest lake in France and is also Europe's cleanest lake. Annecy is also known as the Venice of the Alps. The charming old town of Annecy is a great half day trip away from Geneva with castle, museums, cathedral and a beautiful lake to admire!

  • 4/5 Dr R. 11 months ago on Google
    A huge lake with several activities happening at different parts of the lake. You can see people including in activities including walking / relaxing / cycling / dragon boat etc. Certain parts of the lake also have restaurants. I dined at one of them and the food/ service was good. The lake is very beautiful what with the snow capped mountains forming the perfect backdrop for activities including phototaking. Reportedly the cleanest lake. The tired visitor can rest his feet at the benches and chairs that can be found all along the perimeter of the lake.
