Overview

Annecy Retreat is an alpine town in south-eastern France, where Lake Annecy feeds into the Thieu River. It’s known for its Vieille Ville (old town), with cobbled streets, winding canals and pastel-coloured houses.

Some lunches are included when done pic-nic style from Bernard the bus, but not all
