Morning in Annecy (Nov 3, 2025)

As usual, I'm up early to look around before it gets too crowded.  

View of Lake Annecy

Looking up at Château Annecy

Looking downstream toward the lake

Sluice gate in the river.  They were installed in 1874 to regulate water flow for a former cotton factory downstream.

Annecy is the prettiest town I've seen so far on this trip.  I still like the bustle of Paris best, but this place looks to be my second favorite.
