France
If you get tired of the medieval buildings and coloured houses of old Annecy, check out the art deco architecture on Avenue d'Albigny which runs right beside lake Annecy - don't miss the 'post box' house.
Avenue d'Albigny stretches from the town hall hugging lake Annecy as far as Annecy-le-Vieux, it's just a 20 min walk from the Palais de l'ile and 10 mins from the town hall.
There is a tourist boat that runs around the lake a few times a day from Annecy town, stopping at villages all around. You can hop on and off to see the sites.
