ANNECY, I LOVE THEE - PART I

Since the very first time I visited Annecy, this French little town holds a very special place in my heart. I love everything about Annecy and the more I go there, the more I want to go again. I guess you can call it love at first sight!

Not only is Annecy situated in a beautiful region (Haute-Savoie) close to Switzerland and Geneva, but it is also a special town with a cool architecture and a pleasant as well as relaxed atmosphere...

C'est une ville charmante, une de ces villes lacustres ou on a envie de flaner.
Passe une bonne fin de semaine Rosa.

They are so gorgeous. I love the architecture. It reminds me of my stay in Swizterland.

You know, that town looks like something out of a story book.

If I went there, I'd probably never want to leave. I even love the name given to this picturesque little town. I would love to retire there.

And as always, your wonderful photography put it on the map.
