We loved exploring this place in Annecy, especially perfect for a rainy day!…read more Their exhibits were wonderful between the art exhibits and the museum exhibits. We really liked the puzzles for kids in the art exhibits. I also learned a lot in the museum. Would certainly recommend!

Museum in a castle. Now who would've thunk it? The cost per person to romp the grounds was 5 Euros,…read moreso not too bad. You can't get really lost in here as there's only 1 way in and out. You get to climb a lot of stairs (they're kind of narrow and spiral) and walk around a whole castle, so make sure you have good walking shoes. The special exhibit was African art, which is kind of weird to have in this museum, but why not? There was also a set of contemporary art installations in the other towers which was nice. Make sure you go into all the holes in the walls as you'll find the toilets. They were smart back then. Holes in the castle so that it just goes down somewhere, don't know where, but somewhere. Only thing is you can't take photos in most of the castle. I did sneak a few here and there and also around the castle. Great view of Annecy from here.

Bref, ce Palais en forme de navire reste l'un des lieux les plus photographiés de France. Le musée est centré sur l'histoire de la ville et accueille des expositions temporaires.

You have to take a guided tour (in French) to visit the Château, which lasts a little more than an hour. Our guide was very passionate about the place, which made the visit very interesting and fun. You only get to see 5 or 6 rooms, but they are filled with various collections (from weapons to ceramics, very eclectic). This was a different experience from all the Châteaux I have visited before.
