we’ve no pics bearing this date, so, before moving on, here’s few shots by way of an Annecy retrospective
(as usual, click on image to enlarge)

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.

les Francais aiment leur lacs
and this one was busy.
as were the campsites - les Néerlandais aiment aussi les lacs francais, it seems
the next shot - cropped from the last - gives some idea of the aerial congestion we saw over Lac d’Annecy

up in the hills above the eastern shores of Lac d’Annecy
the scenery and the architecture are Alpine
and we dined on local cheeses (Raclette and Tomme de Montagne are memorable) and salade de chèvre at the Bar Le Chamois, near Montmin
with a view to la Tournette (2351m / 7713ft), the highest peak in this part of Haute-Savoie
