Annecy Heritage Trail

The Annecy Heritage Trail spans centuries of Savoyard history, from the UNESCO-listed prehistoric pile dwellings at Petit Port to the medieval fortifications of the Château d'Annecy and Château de Menthon-Saint-Bernard. This route includes the iconic 12th-century Palais de l'Isle, a former prison situated in the Thiou canal, and the 19th-century architecture of the Haras National. These sites showcase the region's evolution from strategic military strongholds and episcopal residences, like the Manoir de Novel, to centers of horse breeding and ancient lakeside settlements.
