I’d love to go there, Tricia, but it’s probably beyond my means. More photos, please!

It is a very pretty town, but I would suggest visiting in the off-season since it was packed with tourists this past weekend. I’m slowly catching up on my posts; I’ll share more about Annecy next month. Thanks Jo!

I’ve been to that exact spot! Lovely city, but we had a HORRIBLE time there. Fled it, in fact.

Oh no! I’m sorry to hear that. It is a very popular city, and was packed with tourists when we were there last weekend, which is definitely a turn off.

Methinks we weren’t blog buddies when I published this post. Read at your own risk – it might cause flashbacks.

Oh my; good call getting the heck out of dodge while you could! It was equally crowded when we were there, which was not fun. The ironic thing for us is that we visited 25 years ago, on our first trip to France, and it was not crowded at all. It was April, and it was absolutely lovely. We had hoped to recreate that visit; silly us. We were glad to leave, and will undoubtedly never return. Thanks for sharing!

Well that gives me hope then. I plan to return someday in April or May. Hopefully it’ll be saner.

It is a beautiful place. But if you visit, do so in the off-season as it’s packed with tourists in the summer. Thanks for your comment!
