Haute-Savoie

looking back over Lake Annecy

we’ve no pics bearing this date, so, before moving on, here’s few shots by way of an Annecy retrospective

That’s it for the Alps for this year, then.

Will we be back??

Hope so, but it would be good to visit such a dramatically beautiful part of the world outside the main tourist season. Our memories for now are of a beautiful, but bustling, overcrowded and resortified area, awash with tourists and traffic.
