It takes just over an hour to drive from Chamonix to Annecy if you take the fast route on the major highways. Today is our last day with a car for a while so we decided to take the back roads to Annecy. In Chamonix breakfast wasn’t included in the hotel price so we planned to eat on the way. We headed up into the mountains and found a boulangerie for pastries and espresso.
It was a glorious bright sunny day today and the mountain towns, green pastures and snow capped mountains were shining.
We passed over the pass at Col Des Aravis.
Then dropped down to Lac d’Annecy.
We drove around the lake and into Annecy where we turned in the car. Our hotel room wasn’t ready so we walked down to the lake front park which was full of people enjoying the gorgeous day.
We ate dinner at Brasserie l’Abbaye. We had mussels and fries.
