Basilique de la Visitation
One of the best views of Lake Annecy is from the Basilique de la Visitation.
Set on a hill that provides breathtaking panoramic views as you look out to the water, it is an excellent spot for a photo opportunity. But while you are there, make a point of visiting the Basilique too.
A magnificent religious site dedicated to the Visitation of Mary, it showcases an impressive blend of architectural styles, with influences ranging from Romanesque to Gothic Revival.
Its intricate stone carvings, stunning stained glass windows, and ornate interior decorations make it a fascinating place to explore. Whilst doing this, be sure to visit the crypt, where the tomb of St. Francis de Sales, the patron saint of Annecy, is located.
