A short guide to Annecy, France. 

While the full guide is still in the works (will be ready for next spring) here’s a short guide to the Alpine town, straight from my notes from this summer. 

Here’s how to do the “Pearl of the French Alps” in style:

Top Things to Do
1. Stroll the Vieille Ville – cobbled lanes, pastel façades, canals
2. Lake Annecy – swim, sail, or cycle the turquoise shoreline.
3. Château d’Annecy – castle-turned-museum with serious views.
4. Pont des Amours – the “Lovers’ Bridge” is prime photo op territory.
5. Cheese stop at Fromagerie Pierre Gay – legendary Savoyard flavors to take home (or devour on the spot).

🍴 Where to Eat
Bloomer – chic café for brunch or dinner
Galopin – cozy spot with natural wines & small plates.
Mazette – bistro vibes, fresh local produce.
Midget – tiny but mighty for inventive French dining and wine

🛏 Where to Stay
Hôtel du Palais de l’Isle – boutique stay right in the old town.
Le Clos des Sens – a Michelin-starred retreat just outside, with gastronomy at its core.

A short guide to Annecy, France. 

While the full guide is still in the works (will be ready for next spring) here’s a short guide to the Alpine town, straight from my notes from this summer. 

Here’s how to do the “Pearl of the French Alps” in style:

Top Things to Do
1. Stroll the Vieille Ville – cobbled lanes, pastel façades, canals
2. Lake Annecy – swim, sail, or cycle the turquoise shoreline.
3. Château d’Annecy – castle-turned-museum with serious views.
4. Pont des Amours – the “Lovers’ Bridge” is prime photo op territory.
5. Cheese stop at Fromagerie Pierre Gay – legendary Savoyard flavors to take home (or devour on the spot).

🍴 Where to Eat
Bloomer – chic café for brunch or dinner
Galopin – cozy spot with natural wines & small plates.
Mazette – bistro vibes, fresh local produce.
Midget – tiny but mighty for inventive French dining and wine

🛏 Where to Stay
Hôtel du Palais de l’Isle – boutique stay right in the old town.
Le Clos des Sens – a Michelin-starred retreat just outside, with gastronomy at its core.

Hôtel du Palais de l’Isle – boutique stay right in the old town.
Le Clos des Sens – a Michelin-starred retreat just outside, with gastronomy at its core.

A short guide to Annecy, France. 

While the full guide is still in the works (will be ready for next spring) here’s a short guide to the Alpine town, straight from my notes from this summer. 

Here’s how to do the “Pearl of the French Alps” in style:

Top Things to Do
1. Stroll the Vieille Ville – cobbled lanes, pastel façades, canals
2. Lake Annecy – swim, sail, or cycle the turquoise shoreline.
3. Château d’Annecy – castle-turned-museum with serious views.
4. Pont des Amours – the “Lovers’ Bridge” is prime photo op territory.
5. Cheese stop at Fromagerie Pierre Gay – legendary Savoyard flavors to take home (or devour on the spot).

🍴 Where to Eat
Bloomer – chic café for brunch or dinner
Galopin – cozy spot with natural wines & small plates.
Mazette – bistro vibes, fresh local produce.
Midget – tiny but mighty for inventive French dining and wine

🛏 Where to Stay
Hôtel du Palais de l’Isle – boutique stay right in the old town.
Le Clos des Sens – a Michelin-starred retreat just outside, with gastronomy at its core.

First few snaps from France, a gorgeous little medieval town, a beautiful wedding weekend deep in the countryside of Southwest France and a long kayak down the river. 

In love with this medieval architecture.
