St. Peter's Cathedral, Gothic cathedral in Annecy, France.
The cathedral features a three-level facade with vertical pilasters, a Gothic rose window, and pointed arch bays characteristic of medieval architecture.
Originally built as a chapel for the Cordeliers convent between 1535 and 1538, the structure became a cathedral when Catholic clergy sought refuge from Geneva.
Regular classical baroque music concerts take place in the cathedral, providing musical performances that connect with the building's religious heritage.
The cathedral contains a grand organ from 1842 that weighs several tons and two bells crafted by the Paccard foundry in the bell tower.
A canal flows beneath the cathedral structure, visible when approaching from Rue Royale, adding an unexpected water element to the architecture.

Annecy attracts equally with its lake and its preserved Alpine village ambiance. Between nature, gastronomy, and heritage, the town stretches between the mountains and the clear water of the lake, lined with canals and colorful facades. Strolling along the Thiou, climbing up to the castle, or taking boat trips to Talloires and Veyrier are popular activities. The surroundings are filled with easily accessible peaks, scenic trails, and starred restaurants. Each season offers a reason to return, whether for markets, beaches, or the first snow on the Aravis.
