I have to spend a couple of days in France apart from Paris. Is Annecy a good choice?

Question

I think it takes 4 hours by TGV from Paris to Annecy. Is it worth it? Or do you suggest any other place. I am not too interested in castles. Rather I would prefer scenic beauty like the Alps. Any good hotel recommendations for Annecy?

Answer 1

Yes I agree with Arun.........the Alps are gorgeous (go and visit Chamonix too if you can).

Abdoucstg is leading you towards the sea and the west coast lol !

Hey am joking Abdouc :-)

Answer 2

why not. depends of what you want... for the Alps, it's a good choice. others would be : Genève or Grenoble.

you could also go to the sea:

- channel : Deauville or Fécamp (close to paris)

- Brittany : Saint-Malo

- ocean coast : La Rochelle, Biarritz (very different places)

- the Riviera

Answer 3

If you love the Alps then Annecy is the best choice. It has esy access to a whole lot of montain resorts and Geneva at a stones throw disatance (1 hr ) by train.

Yes go for it!!!
