"Market Day in Annecy, France", ©1995
Elroy
Christenson Annecy is situated on
northern end
of Lake Annecy in the French Alps.
The old town of Annecy dates from the Middle Ages is
laced with canals
which are lined with flowers. Swans swim the waters
looking for
handouts. It is a tourist town during the summer,
primarily for the
French natives who come here to swim, sun and have fun.
Market day in Annecy takes over most of the old town. Vendors including local farmers come here to sell their produce. This is the place to find unusual cheeses, locally produced sausages and prepared meats as well as vegetables, clothes and shoes.
