Surrounded by its mountains, its blue-green lake and its canals that run through the old town have given it the nickname "Venice of the Alps" and have earned it international renown. The charm and authenticity of its picturesque old town with its medieval arteries (Sainte Claire door, Perrière gate and côte) which surround it, its traboules, hidden passages and tangle of houses are characteristic. At the whim of its pedestrian streets, you will meet its old prisons, its castle, the Palace of the island and can reach the pretty shores of its lake with its marina, its beaches, its many walks and parks (Pâquier, Albigny, Marquisats, European gardens). Navigable, one bathes here from spring to autumn and there are many nautical activities .
