Thiou River

Filed under Annecy, Chambéry & France {10 comments}

I took a little stroll along the Thiou river yesterday. It’s the shortest river in France at 3.5 km long. It connects the lake in Annecy (cleanest lake in Europe) to the Fier river, and is also featured in every touristic photo ever taken in Annecy because it makes up the cute little canals in the old town, without which we wouldn’t be called the Venice of France.

The promenade along the Thiou extends out to the suburbs where I live, so I followed it into Annecy. The water was so clear and peaceful and after weeks of rain, it was nice to be outside in the beautiful summer weather for once.

Crossing the bridge to start the promenade

No flooding yet

The water is so clean and clear!

Yes, its gorgeous way to get from Cran Gevrier to Annecy without walking along busy roads. We did it just last week

Hello Jennie…I’ve only just discovered you blog and as I need to go to bed soon, I won’t have time to read it all tonight…I was just wondering about your employment problem. Couldn’t you do soutien scolaire during the holidays, while you’re waiting? Acadomia, for example, pay reasonably. I mean, are you just looking to be an assistant or can you apply for other jobs? Private lessons pay well too…I love Annecy. I think it is really beautiful. I don’t like Grenoble much…I’d move if I could!Anyway, good luck with your job hunting…
