The exact location of the school I've been posted to is a little village called Pringy, which lies on the outskirts of Annecy at approximately 5km / 3miles from the town centre.
I would like to find somewhere to live in Annecy because it's close to the lake and close to the school, and by the looks of pictures I have seen online there's a lot more to do and see by living in Annecy. Having said that, I have been told that it's the second most expensive place to live in France (after Paris!) and by judging from my house search I'd definitely say that's true. It's been recommended that I live on the outskirts, but I would like to avoid that if I can.
The mountains that surround the town of Annecy are Le Mont Veyrier, Le Semnoz, La Tournette et Le Parmelan. The main sights include: le Palais de l'Isle, le Chateau d'Annecy, la Cathédrale Saint-Pierre, la Rue Sainte-Claire, la Rue Royale, la Musée de l'Histoire d'Annecy, l'Eglise Saint-Maurice, les Jardins de l'Europe d'Annecy, le Pont des Amours, le Palais Impérial and la Basilique de la Visitation.
I'll hopefully have a little look around these places when I have time, and I'll make sure to blog about them.
