Sunday in Annecy!

Last Sunday I spent the day with some of my Polish friends at Annecy, an hour(by car) North of Grenoble. Annecy was once part of Geneva and home to the Counts of Geneva and the Princes of Savoy.




The famous Lac d'Annecy








A picnic by the lake!


Pedal boats!



Oh la la.. C'est la vie!




Le Pont d'amours. Lovers Bridge.



Trying to play "Chicken"












When the sun comes up, out come the people! Unfortunately it was one of those days where the sun was out but it was freezing cold. I was deceived that morning into thinking it was going to be a nice, warm day and I wore far to many clothes. Result: I spent the whole day freezing or trying to find random warm spots under the sun to thaw out.





The artists along this stretch were amazingly talented.
I wanted to get a charcoal portrait of myself but the queue was too long.



Le Palais d'Isle- one of the most photographed monuments in France. It used to be a prison during WW II.







Le Chatêat d'Annecy - The castle of Annecy, home to the former Counts of Geneva.
