Our eldest sister-in-law has recommended us to visit a charming old town which was about 1.5 hours by bus ride to Geneva's bus station. Annecy town belongs to France and was easily accessible by frequent buses. We have no problem getting 2 tickets the day before. You must bring your international passport with you as you are getting out of Switzerland to France. On the way to Annecy own, ensure you were seated on the left side of the bus. You would be able to see very beautiful France villages in the distance from the bus. The bus passed by the France's border smoothly but on the way back to Geneva, the France border immigration policeme armed with guns came up on the bus to check on everyone's passport and asked some questions.
Pont des Amours ("Bridge of Love").
The Palais de l'Ile : This was the residence of the lords of Annecy from the 12th century, the stronghold on the island become an administrative centre when the counts of Geneva came to Annecy.The Palace became a prison for which it had been used from the Middle Ages and this lasted until 1865.Its listing as a Historical Monument dates from 1900. Allocated the role of museum from 1952, today it houses the “Centre for Interpretation of Architecture and Heritage”.
