Annecy

Yesterday our API group went to Annecy which was an hour and a half of a bus ride away from Grenoble. They were having the FĂȘte des Alpages, which is when they bring all the animals down from the mountains and parade them around town. There were so many people, it was nearly impossible to pass through the streets. It was fun though, and there were little tents with people selling cool stuff. Annecy is basically the Venice of France because little canals run through the town and connect to Lac d'Annecy which is the clearest lake I've ever seen.

It's a really beautiful city, especially all the old parts. I also went inside a castle that housed some old furnishings, and contemporary art - oddly enough. Would you like to see pictures of the town? Ok!
