Highlights:
Lake Annecy is located in Haute-Savoie, France, at the foot of the Alps, and is second only to Lake LacduBourget in France. Due to strict environmental management measures implemented in the 1960s, Lake Annecy is known as the clear lake in Europe. Lake Annecy has become a popular tourist destination for its famous water recreational activities. Lake Annecy was formed 18,000 years ago during the melting of Alpine glaciers. Many small rivers originating from the surrounding mountains stretch for more than ten kilometers into Lake Annecy, which provides sufficient water for Lake Annecy. Walking and cycling on the shore of Lake Annecy, or swimming and boating in the lake, overlooking the rolling Alps in the distance, is undoubtedly one of life's great joys. The French Enlightenment thinker Rousseau once spent "the good 12 years" of his life in Annecy.
