Annecy is a commune in the Haute-Savoie department in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region in south-eastern France. North of the French Alps, after Geneva 40 km to the north, Annecy is part of the axis of the agglomerations of the Alpine furrow in alignment with Chambéry then Grenoble and Valence.
The "Pearl of the Alps" from Raoul Blanchard's urban monograph forms a contact cluse between the Plaine des Fins and the Pre-Alps constraining its population within its building zone from the 1960s to the municipal merger of 2017. Since the absorption of the territories of Annecy-le-Vieux, Cran-Gevrier, Meythet, Pringy and Seynod, Annecy has risen to 29th place among French cities.2 the most populous with 130,721 inhabitants.
Historic residence of the Counts of Geneva in the thirteenth century, then of the Counts of Savoy in the fifteenth century, the village became the capital of Savoy with the prerogative of Genevois-Nemours including Genevois, Faucigny and Beaufortain from 1434 to 1659. Its religious role intensified in 1536, during the Calvinist Reformation; while the bishop of Geneva took refuge there, François de Sales made it an advanced citadel of the Catholic Counter-Reformation, earning it the nickname "Rome of the Alps". The Treaty of Turin led to the annexation of the Duchy of Savoy, attaching the city to the France in 1860 during the reign of Napoleon III.
The nickname "Venice of the Alps" derives from the canals of Vassé, Saint Dominique and Thiou that protected the city, then brought hydraulic power to textile craftsmanship, gradually giving way to the industrialization of the nineteenth century remaining today through the presence of headquarters, such as Fusalp, SNR, Salomon, Mavic or Entremont.
In the twentieth century, the tourism sector benefits from the renowned purity of the alpine air and the lake, the surrounding winter sports, the conservation of green spaces and a cultural heritage that is being renovated. The touristic-cultural turning point began in 1960 with the organization of the Annecy International Animation Film Festival and the Lake Festival, each attracting a hundred thousand visitors each summer.
In 1973, the Annecy University Institute of Technology was opened, linked to the Savoie University Centre, attached in 1979 to the new University of Savoie, which in 2015 became the Savoie Mont Blanc University, along with those of the Savoie Technolac and Jacob-Bellecombette campuses.
In 2021, Annecy is elected the city of France where we live the best, a ranking established by the association Villes et villages based on 183 criteria3 but is dethroned in 2022 by Angers because of the criteria for access to housing.
