Piece of Senja in Annecy

WE almost arrived when the sun started to move behind the orange dusk. The bus that took us past the houses of stone or wood walls and a row of large trees that surround Lake Annecy. Water turquoise sheen in the sunlight. 

Nearly an hour we had to surround the circumference of the lake piece before arriving at a restaurant, Petit Paradis. We must first pass blusukan winding walkway with plants on either side, unfortunately not very clearly visible as dark is completely down. After 300 meters walk, we arrived at the restaurant located right on the lake.

Although dark, still lake water looks blue silhouette with a panorama of the Alps behind it. Yellow glow coming from the lights in the park near the tents add to the romantic atmosphere. "Heaven" Perfect little to unwind after the day before a helicopter ride and ski gondola to get down from Semnoz, Haute Savoie mountain peaks with elevations of 1,699 meters above sea level.
Cold fresh vegetables greet us, such as tomatoes, celery, potatoes, carrots, parsley, cauliflower placed in a basket, plus a boiled egg and bread are dipped in mayonnaise baget cheese. We chose a warm tea drinking friends. The next menu sort risoles followed a main course of fish lake glaze and roast duck with a simple seasoning. 


Place our choice is a table on the terrace restaurant that overlooks the lake directly. A dock is located not far from the terrace can also be used for the meal special moment. If it is not too windy-like wind, can choose where in the room with the traditional feel of the countryside in France. Guests surround each table and chatted while sipping wine. The man had come to the restaurant owner of our table and entertained with singing accompanied by guitar which he played himself. Summer atmosphere here is not much different from the dry season in the country. 


Of Amaury Sport Organisation Marina (ASO) that accompanied our party said, Lake Annecy is one of the leading outdoor tourism in France. People use it for water skiing, canoeing, fishing, sailing, to swimming. Yes, swimming is known as the cleanest lake in the whole of Europe! The water comes from springs, rivers, and rain. Locals drink it immediately after processing. France imposes strict environmental regulations since 1960 that makes the lake was designated a world heritage by UNESCO. 


The best place to view the lake is Le Champ de Mars Paquier or. 7.5 hectares of field is limited by the trees that shade canopy chairs and pedestrian path that can be utilized for a walk or jog. Grassy field seemed full of people sitting cross-legged while chatting or accompany their children playing and running around freely looking at the lake with mountains in the background. 


Annecy is our stopover point in the series following the journey of three last stage of the Tour de France with a group of the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy, Government of West Sumatra province, the Government of South Solok, Dharmasraya, Padang Pariaman and Padang Panjang, as well as several other parties in order to increase Day Festival. Annecy closer to Geneva, Switzerland (35 kilometers), rather than from a separate Paris 545 kilometers. The town is located in the north of Lake Annecy is the capital of the Haute Savoie in southeastern France. 


The old city that combines the appeal of history, panorama, gastronomy, traditions, and this activity is split by the River Thiou which then form the canals and narrow streets that make it dubbed Venesianya Alps.
"The French government forbids its citizens to change the face of the ancient buildings and structures owned. They have to report if there is damage to the building and repair needs. The government will fix it. The inside of the building may be used for any function, residential or commercial, "said Sarah Grace, Eurosport representative in Indonesia, one of the members of the group who have studied in Europe for four years. 


Not surprisingly, the old town that looked like paintings still survive today. Old buildings, such as castles from the 12th century, medieval prisons, to the cathedral from the 16th century still stands majestic and manicured. Unfortunately, we did not get to explore the charm of Annecy further because the night soon changed and we need to get back to Paris. Lucky we had set foot in Semnoz, Haute Savoie lungs within 120 miles of Annecy.
Stage 20 Tour de France Annecy-Semnoz the route. Semnoz, another example of the preservation of the environment, which in turn supports tourism. Located in the heart of the Natural Regional Park Bauges, Semnoz tub offers views of the country in the cloud. We can see Mont Blanc, the highest mountain in the Alps in addition to the ranks of Lake Annecy and Bourget, the largest lake in France.
