Lake Annecy
The lake stretches southeast from the town into the mountains. On the poster, its clean outline and the roads hugging each shore make up the strongest shape in the composition.

The map
About this Annecy map poster
Annecy occupies the northern end of Lake Annecy in Haute-Savoie, where the water narrows and drains away through the Thiou river. On a map, the lake takes up the southeast, a broad pale shape with roads along both shores, while the town spreads north and west across flatter ground. Steep slopes rise to the east and south, pressing the streets into a tight arc around the shore.
The old town lies on both sides of the Thiou and its canals, a dense knot of narrow lanes around the Palais de l'Isle, a medieval building on a small island in the channel. The château stands on the hill just above. These waterways earned Annecy the nickname Venice of the Alps, and an Annecy map poster shows them as fine lines cutting through the smallest blocks in town.
Along the lakefront, open lawns and gardens leave generous white space between the water and the streets. Annecy is also known around the world for its international animation film festival, founded in 1960. Beyond the centre, newer districts and the neighbouring communes fill the basin, giving the poster a clear gradient from medieval core to modern suburbs.

Thiou canals
The Thiou and its canals carry lake water through the old town. Their narrow channels divide tiny blocks and island buildings, a pattern rarely seen this clearly in an Alpine town.
Mountain edge
Slopes rise steeply beside the lake, so streets stop abruptly or climb in switchbacks. That sudden thinning of the network marks where the town meets the mountains.

Why Annecy
A map that means something
People tend to remember Annecy in summer light: a swim in the lake, a walk along the canals, a wedding by the water. A map gives that memory a structure that stays calm on the wall rather than competing with the room.
Personalise the title and subtitle with names or a date, keep or edit the coordinates line, and pick one of five styles. Blueprint and Noir suit the water particularly well. HD files cost $9 in six print sizes, or order a matte print with an optional frame.
