Pont des Amours, the “Lovers’ Bridge,” is one of Annecy’s most iconic landmarks, spanning the Canal du Vassé at the edge of the lake. Framed by rows of tall plane trees, the bridge offers a romantic view of the sparkling waters and the surrounding mountains, making it a favorite spot for couples and photographers alike. Local legend says that lovers who kiss on the bridge will stay together forever, adding to its charm and symbolism. Beyond romance, Pont des Amours is a gateway between the lively gardens of the Paquier and the tranquil lakeside promenade, blending natural beauty with urban elegance. Whether at sunrise, when the light dances across the canal, or at sunset, when the lake glows with golden hues, the bridge captures the timeless spirit of Annecy and remains a must‑see for visitors seeking both scenery and sentiment.
Annecy FrancePont des Amours is located at the northern tip of Lake Annecy in central Annecy, Haute-Savoie, France, spanning the Vassé Canal to connect the Jardins de l'Europe gardens with the Pâquier esplanade. This iconic iron footbridge offers panoramic views of the lake's turquoise waters and distant Alps, marking a romantic gateway between the city center and waterfront. Directly adjacent are the lush Jardins de l'Europe with playgrounds and century-old plane trees, plus pedal boat rentals on either side for lake exploration. A short stroll leads to Annecy's Vieille Ville old town across the canal, featuring the Palais de l'Isle museum, bustling markets on Rue Sainte-Claire, and the Château d'Annecy overlooking the scene.
