    Built in 1132, the castle is at the center of the Thiou canal. Its triangular shape like the prow of a galley has become the visual symbol of the city.

    As you journey through the canals of the old town, you'll find other places to visit in Annecy like the church of St. Maurice and St. Peter. And don't miss the arches of the Rue Sainte-Claire and the fountain of the Wells of St. John in the Rue Royale. Dominating the town, one of the most historical things to see in Annecy is the former residence of the counts of Geneva. Today, the castle houses the Annecy Conservatory of Art and History and the Regional Observatory of Alpine Lakes with archaeological exhibits, aquariums, and models.

    After your visit, practice your new knowledge by touring Lake Annecy, the great natural claim to the city and one of the favourite Annecy activities. Other interesting attractions in Annecy are the Gardens of Europe, the Pont des Amours (kiss your partner right in the middle of the bridge and prepare to stay with them for the rest of your life), and the viewpoints of forest Crêt du Maure.
