  Lake of Annecy
by GUYON
 
 

Favorite thing: Some decades ago, the Lake was very polluted. Now it is one of the cleanest of the world. It is the result of efforts of the population and the public authority.

In Summer, the temperature of the water is around 20 / 22°c. Sufficiently high to have a pleasant bath.

The Lake is not very large : 14.7 Km long, 0.8 to 3.2 Km large, 27 sq Km, deepest point : 67 m.

Of course, the Lake was dug by a glacier during the last Glacial Era.

Fondest memory: It is possible to make a round trip in car around the Lake (40 km).

The most beautiful bank is the East one.

Review Helpfulness: 4 out of 5 stars
