Playing in Annecy
Lake Annecy shapes everything: you follow the water, cross the canal, raise your eyes to the mountains. The Palais de l'Île stands in the middle of the Thiou, the lanes of the old town run along its embankments and the Pont des Amours leads to the gardens on the shore. The area is compact, very photogenic and easy to read, which suits a birthday as well as a group of visitors on holiday.
In summer, the old town and the lakeshore are very busy: play early in the morning or in the evening. The streets of the centre are narrow, so vary the teams' starting points.
Three route ideas in Annecy
The canals of the old town
A route around the Thiou, the Palais de l'Île and the bridges that span it. Teams read the coloured façades and spot the arcades before climbing up to the castle that overlooks the old town.
By the lake with the family
From the Pont des Amours to the lawns facing the lake, a light game for children, with observation riddles about boats, swans and benches, and no long walk.
An evening with friends on the embankments
In the evening, the canal embankments come alive. A short game for friends or colleagues, with quick riddles along the water and a finish on a terrace.
