A two hour train ride east of Lyon put us in the French Alps where lakes and canals are plentiful. 
The mountain peaks are too, just in case you were confused. 
Skies were blue and the forecasted rain held off until this evening allowing us a lots of time to wander in this petit Venice.
Annecy is a good mix of old and new. 
Cobblestone streets, medieval towers and a town square with a cathedral at its head are charming and functional. 
Glass and steel structures, modern office buildings, and Paris fashions reflect tourist money that the old town draws.
And it draws a lot even in off-season.
Only a few days until we fly home and we feel our time coming to a close. 
We have one more very special something planned. 
Stay tuned!
