The French Alps is a spectacular region of amazing contrasts. From glaciated lakes and snowcapped mountains to medieval villages and picturesque châteaux, there is a wealth of exciting and glorious sights to enchant and delight you.
Travel by high-speed Eurostar and French TGV rail services to Annecy, one of the most charming and attractive towns in the Haute-Savoie region of France, built on a maze of canals, with cobbled streets and old stone bridges. The old town is lined with cafés and restaurants, and cruises on the lake offer wonderful views of the Alps.
