Cycling route: Col de Merdassier

Beauty of the lake and mountains evolving all the time! Lake Annecy's clear waters are surrounded by moutains which colours change with seasons or light: green in spring and summer, glowing colours in autumn, pristine white in winter. Simply amazing...It is possible to admire the landscape from summits, when paragliding or along the cycle path that runs from Annecy to Savoy. Moreover, thanks to numerous protective actions performed for over 40 years, local people and tourists enjoy a protected environment: lake Annecy is considered as one of the purest lakes in Europe. The clearness and pureness of its water offer the opportunity to practice many water activities: swimming, of course, but also sailing, windsurfing, canoeing, rowing, water skiing, scuba diving, fishing... Lake Annecy is a perfect place for sports, leisure and also to discover history and local heritage. Stroll around the colourful, paved streets of Annecy's Old town, discover castles and museums, meet local craftspeople... Lake Annecy is also famous for its markets (with local products, cheese and delicatessen) and restaurants (local or gastronomic cuisine, fish and seafood...).

Manigod church was built in baroque style.Originally, the church was a wooden building with a dirt floor. At the end of the 17th century, it was rebuilt in the baroque style that can be found on the facade with its portal. The bulbous bell tower of the church, typical of the time, is not satisfactory, because the sound of the bells is not heard enough in all the surrounding hamlets. Extension work on the church was carried out at the end of the 19th century. The bell tower is then rebuilt and moved. Inside the church, you find ridge vaults and cruciform pillars. The writings concerning her only date back to 1414, on the occasion of the pastoral visit of MGR Bertrand, Bishop of Geneva. Disability accessibility: The church is accessible, a door has been specifically designed for access to people in accompanied wheelchairs. Note that the right door opens from the inside.
