It is also an exotic experience with a beautiful diversity of atmospheres and landscapes between lakes, orchards, towns and countryside. With, along the way, numerous possibilities to stop for a swim on the beaches of the Annecy or Bourget lakes, cultural or gastronomic discoveries and beautiful escapes along the water along the Isère river.
