Annecy (Èneci / Ènneci in Arpitan language) is a commune in the Haute-Savoie department in the Rhône-Alpes region in south-eastern France.
It lies on northern tip of Lake Annecy (Lac d'Annecy), 35 kilometres south of Geneva
Annecy is located between Geneva and Chambéry. Thus its history was strongly influenced by these two towns between the 10th and the 19th century. Starting as the capital of the county of Geneva, after the demise of the counts of Geneva, it became integrated into the House of Savoy's possessions in 1401. In 1444, it was set up by the Princes of Savoy as the capital of a region covering the possessions of the Genevois, Faucigny and Beaufortain. With the advance of Calvinism in 1535, it became a center for the Counter-Reformation and the bishop's see of Geneva was transferred here.
During the French Revolution the Savoy region was conquered by France. Annecy became attached to the département of Mont Blanc, of which the capital was Chambéry. After the Bourbon Restoration in 1815, it was returned to the Kingdom of Sardinia (heir of the Duchy of Savoy). When Savoy was sold to France in 1860, it became the capital of the new département of Haute-Savoie.
Francis of Sales was born at the nearby castle of Sales in 1567. He was bishop of Annecy from 1602 to 1622.
Annecy was the site of the second round of General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) talks in 1949.

"A Wrexham and Shropshire liveried DVT (Driving Van Trailer) has been undergoing testing, and is seen arriving at Wrexham on September 26, working from Crewe-Crewe via Wrexham, Shrewsbury and Stafford.
The DVT is designed to operate the rear locomotive, in this case a Class 67 locomotive, and provide electrical power to the coaches, via a series of jumper cables and connectors.
Four DVTs will work in tandem with the company's four dedicated Class 67s in the same livery, and will provide valuable, additional storage for luggage, and provision for bicycles.
The company are still awaiting delivery of their dedicated coaching stock which is being refurbished at Stoke Marcroft."
I thought I'd try and work-around Twitter's abduction of my tweets by subscribing in Google Reader. Unfortunately that seems to have stopped working a week ago. Seriously worried this isn't accidental breakage.
