  • Ile des Cygnes, is a small islet, completely covered by vegetation, located very close to the shore of ''Lac d'Annecy'' almost opposite the source of the river "Le Thiou". The ''Lac d'Annecy'', where the "Ile des Cygnes" is located, was formed about 18,000 years ago as a result of the melting of alpine glaciers. It is the second largest lake in France and the mountainous massifs that partly surround it offer some very attractive panoramic views.
  • Pretty little island where nature grows luxuriantly without human intervention. Nice to get around with the pedal boat and to see from the shore. Anyway beautiful the whole walk around the lake: We really should learn here!
