I visited the 'Venice of the Alps,' Lake Annecy. I think it's going to be the next big European destination for Americans.

Nestled in the Alps with crystal clear water, Lake Annecy is a European travel gem. When I visited, I enjoyed the clean beaches and historic old town.

  • Charming old town features medieval Palais de l Île dating back to 13th century
  • Lake Annecy less crowded than other European lakes, ideal summer destination
