The Lovers' Bridge over the Vassé canal, framed by plane trees and boats.
Address: Pont des Amours, Jardins de l'Europe, 74000 Annecy
This small iron footbridge crosses the Vassé canal where it meets the lake, at the edge of the Jardins de l'Europe. Plane trees line the water and small boats are moored below, creating one of Annecy's most romantic scenes.
Local legend says that couples who kiss on the bridge will stay together forever, and the view from it, over the canal to the lake and mountains, is a favourite for photos and proposals.
