ANNECY, ORGAN GRINDER
Image Number 11
Annecy is a commune in the Haute-Savoie department in the Rhône-Alpes region in south-eastern France. It lies on the northern tip of Lake Annecy, 35 klm south of Geneva. On Sundays Annecy holds a wonderful street market along its distinctive canals. Here the local organ grinder plays in front of the Thiou Canal with Palais de l'Isle castle in the background. The castle, built in 1132, was the primary residence of the Lord of Annecy as early as the 12th century, and later became the Count of Geneva's administrative headquarters, and finally a jail from the Middle Ages until 1865.
