Full description

Annecy is under an hour from Geneva by road but feels a world away: canals run through the old town, flower boxes hang from the bridges and the lake is famously clear. A guide shows you the Palais de l’Isle, the old prison on its island in the canal, the castle and the lakeside gardens.

After the walk you sit down to a lunch of local dishes before some free time and the drive back to Geneva. Bring your passport or ID, as you cross the French border.
