ANNECY, Haute-Savoie, FRANCE


Set amidst magnificent mountains at the side of a beautiful lake, its picturesque old town and its canals - what can I say: it seems that Annecy has it all. But, to quote a phrase, call a place paradise, kiss it goodbye! Sadly, the town has become a victim of its own success, its centre - so swamped with tourists, that wandering about the narrow old streets is not just far from pleasurable, but becomes a real challenge.
