The Penultimate Day

Our last full day in Annecy was spent enjoying the "Old Town & its Churches" walk. There is always the concern that one church looks very much the same as the next, but if you take the time there are many features that make each one different and the guide we have has proven invaluable in supplying pertinent information needed. 

After an early, somewhat cool start we caught the 8:15 bus into Annecy. We have both taken a bit of strain in the foot department because we both bought new shoes shortly before taking this trip - not a good idea, but it was unavoidable. 

Most of the churches were built in the 16th and 17th century while the last one visited, the Basilica of the Visitation was only built in the first half of the 20th century. Some visuals.........


Supper this evening was a treat; we had planned to go to a local place, the Hotel Restaurant but they were closed on Mondays so we went to the La Station Des Sens the local pizza joint which was a huge surprise. We shared one pizza and one salad that were both amazing. The pizza - Mustang which sounds very un-French but the toppings were super fresh and totally French (Tomate, Mozza ; en fin de cuisson Roquette, Tomates cerises, Speck, Mozza fraîche, Copeaux de parmesan, Pistou, Vinaigre balsamique.) A real treat!

  1. At least you had a great meal to make up for the Michelin starred place you didn't like that much!
