The 2nd most photographed place in France?

by Dabs - last update: Aug 23, 2007

My husband, who was trying to sell me on why we were heading to Annecy France told me that the prison, strategically set in the middle of a river, was the 2nd most photographed site in France behind the Eiffel Tower.

A little research tells a slightly different story

But I couldn't quite figure out why exactly we needed to be there on a specific Wednesday until magically Google comes back with the answer-Traverse du Lac, a swim race across Lac d'Annecy!

 I think I ate at this same restaurant this summer. The pot of mussels was huge, just like in your picture. Was it a semi open air, and did they serve gigantic beers? of so - that's where I went as well - and it was delicious.

 Wonder if the prisoners know how popular their home is for tourists!

 Hey, that website really does have beautiful photos of Annecy - and that Intro prison view of yours is spectacular too! I've always wanted to tour the Rhone-Alpes area and your three small pages have just confirmed it!

 Was the lake cold? Sounds like quite an event.
