I had been to Annecy before, but this was the first time that I went there on my Vespa. The main difficulty of the trip is to avoid getting on the highway involuntarily.
On the road - still in Switzerland
Getting closer to Compesières
Parking next to the château in Compesières
At the Swiss-French border
Collonges sous Salève (in France)
Pont de la Caille and Pont Caquot
The Pont de la Caille (also known as Pont Charles-Albert) in Haute-Savoie is one of the oldest suspension bridges. It was officially opened by King Charles Albert of Piedmont-Sardinia in 1839 (Haute-Savoie beeing part of his kingdom at the time). In 1929 another bridge was built next to it over the Usses River, called Pont Caquot and this is where cars and Vespas cross the river now. The old bridge is only for pedestrians.
