Due to horrible ski conditions in Bourg Saint Maurice, Arturo and I rented a stupidly expensive compact car for just over 100 euros and drove to Annecy for the day.
We first stop was at Paccard museum, next to one of the 2 factories in the world that makes giant bells. Cool place:
keyboard to play static bells
You can listen to the video from the bells:
We then drove around the lake to the north part where Annecy lies:
Annecy old town is very nice, almost a small venice:
lots of water due to recent rains :)
We then went to the local castle which wasn't much, but had reasonably interesting displays in some rooms:

Eventually it was time to walk back to the car and go home after stopping by a nice local cathedral:
While Annecey is not a must do in France, it was a nice day tour for a day we otherwise couldn't ski. Thanks to Arturo for the driving there and back.
