Haute Savoie Superb!

A wonderful trip to the Haute Savoie region with lots of history and a beautiful old town with canals and a magnificent lake. An easy half day tour, no hiking, lots of food and plenty to see.

Annecy-France: a unique paradise!!!!

Annecy France in August, top destination. And for at least 3 excellent reasons: 1- the lake, fabulous for swimming in. 2- the mountains within easy reach with magnificent hikes and breathtaking scenery; the Mont-Blanc in particular 3- the town, a very lively jewel with fabulous restaurants. Do not hesitate to spend an excellent vacation there. So many prodigious things to do there.
