Annecy Paysages 2021
The Annecy Paysages art festival is currently taking place in Annecy until the end of September. Like the previous years, it features installations from a few dozen artists, scattered around the city center and the shore of the lake. Most are new but there are also a few that were already there last year (or that have now been installed permanently). Here is a map of all the art pieces and below are photos of some of them.
Hike along the Fier in Nâves-Parmelan / Cascade de Grattepanche
In the Spring of 2020, I went on a loop between Annecy-le-Vieux and Nâves-Parmelan: Starting from Vignières near where I live, I crossed the Fier and walked along the river, then visited Cascade de Grattepanche (Grattepanche Waterfall).
