on the waterfront by Annecy's old city, at the northwest corner of the lake
 

a pretty place even if you're not riding
 

the water of the Lac d'Annecy is "milky" blue because it is fed by snow carrying rock particles ground from old glaciers
 

This bike path ("piste cyclable") runs all the way along the west side of Lac d'Annecy.
 

This bike path even has its own tunnel
 

To go along the east side of the lake, we ride on the road.
