Francis de Sales' Annecy, 1610

Annecy in 1610 is the small Savoyard capital of the Genevois, a lakeside clerical centre of the Counter‑Reformation where the bishop's voice threads through the town's canals. Visitors will see the Palais de l'Île slicing the Thiou, arcaded streets and market stalls, tanners and millers working the sluices, and the castle of the Genevois‑Nemours dukes above the roofs.

24 scenes, 15 streets, squares and views, 9 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Annecy as it stood in 1610 (“Annecy”).
