2 things to see
Annecy sits on a crystal-clear Alpine lake in France with a pastel old town threaded by canals that costs nothing to wander. The lakeside path and its free public beaches give you mountain views that rival Switzerland without the Swiss price tag, and a walk or cheap bus ride around the shore fills a full day for almost nothing. It makes an easy budget side trip from Geneva or Lyon. Shoulder seasons in late spring and early autumn bring the lowest room rates while the lake stays swimmable and the trails stay open.
