Often referred to as the Alpine Venetia, the picturesque old town is made up of a maze of bridges and cobbled streets built over the Thiou canal. The Palais de l'Isle is in the center of the old town, it was orginally used a Lord's residence then became a jail in the 1800s. It is now a local history museum.
Beside the lake is the beautiful Pont des Amours, a 20th century iron bridge. The view across the lake is stunning, but equally as beautiful is the view towards the town over the Amsterdam-like canal.
The lake hosts a variety of activities in the summertime including paddle boat rentals, boat rides and swimming.
Next weekend we are in London, the weekend after I am heading to Zurich then Oktoberfest bound shortly afterwards. So much travelling, so little time!
Happy wandering x
