Following a journey of less than an hour, we arrive in Annecy and begin our guided walking tour through the city’s alleys and canals.
During this 45-minute tour, you will learn about the history of Annecy related to the counter-reformation. The city was selected by the Catholic Church as a base to counteract John Calvin's ideas from Geneva.
Key monuments we will see include Annecy castle and the Palais de l'Isle, now a museum but historically a court, prison, and aristocrat's residence.
