One of these days I really need to pay for the full tour, but I am always so taken by the town and the lake that I want more time to explore. This is a great example of the old world though and I do enjoy walking up to and around the area.
One of the best places to see the whole city of Annecy. The museum has a lot to see about the history, interesting things about the lake and etc. If you are visiting Annecy I think this is one of the places you should visit.
The history of the castle and the compound was interesting, but the art exhibits were okay. Good if they can allow us to explore the building to learn more about the history or just to admire the architecture. Requires a short climb up the hill.
