Lake Annecy is located in Annecy, France's largest city in the Haute-Savoie region, within the enchanting surroundings of the European Alps.
Lake Annecy is the third largest French lake after the lakes of Bourges and Grand Leo, a popular tourist destination for water sports enthusiasts.
The lake is known as the cleanest European lake because of its strict environmental regulations that have been in place since 1960 until this time.
The depth of the lake is 45 meters in the middle, and even the deepest point, which reaches more than 85 meters under water, and a length of about 14 kilometers.
Lake Annecy was formed 18,000 years ago by the melting of the Alps, and is fed by six small rivers
