Historic and quaint, this scenic passage joins a vast lake to a pair of green parks and also provides a romantic conduit between loving hearts.

With an intriguing backstory and a romantic modern-day role, Amours Bridge fills a place in the hearts of visitors from around the world. Legends say that lovers who kiss at its center, against a stunning backdrop of Lake Annecy’s myriad shades of blue, will remain together for eternity. Visit Amours Bridge to try your luck and test the folklore, by crossing this iconic channel with your romantic partner.

This charming bridge has an elegant black railing holding a sign with the bridge’s French name. Stroll from one end to the other, checking out the array of boats and ducks floating on the lake’s surface. As you make your way across the iron bridge, look for the emblem of Annecy.

Consider the rich history of the site. The current incarnation of the bridge was built in 1907. A wooden predecessor was constructed in 1845. Nearly 15 years later, a replacement cast-iron version stood for almost half a century. Speak with locals and learn how it is thought that the structure served as a gathering point for prostitutes, a possible origin of its love-related name.

Stand at the heart of the bridge and kiss your lover in the hope of securing undying love. Admire the spectacular vista of the mountains on the other side of Lake Annecy. The bridge stretches across Le Vassé canal, joining the Jardins de l’Europe to the green fields of the Pâquier Esplanade on the other side. Bring your kids to frolic on the slides and swings of the esplanade, in full view of the bridge.

The Amours Bridge is in the Old Town quarter that marks the eastern shoreline of Annecy. Travel by bus to one of the stops on the nearby avenue. While in the area, make sure to visit other nearby gems such as the Église Saint Maurice, the Château d’Annecy and the Mairie d’Annecy town hall.
