“I was here in the summer and yes the crowds in the old town are extremely annoying and take away from the experience. Annecy is very beautiful but it’s better to go during less busy times of the year to really appreciate the scenery and tow”

“I live in Annecy and this video does not do it justice. You probably went to the Old Town on a weekend during the high season. Of course there will be crowds. It's a place where people want to be. It is among the most popular cities/commune”
