  If you're starting from the Annecy train station, exit the station and head straight onto Avenue de la Gare. Continue walking until you reach Place de la Gare. From there, take Avenue du Tresum, and follow it as it curves to the right into Quai de l'Isle. Keep following the banks of the Thiou river. After about a 15-20 minute walk, you will arrive at the beautiful Palais de l'Isle, a historic building on an island in the river. Continue walking straight to the end of the street, where it intersects with Rue de l'Isle. Turn left onto Rue de l'Isle, and then immediately take a right onto Rue Saint-Clair. Follow Rue Saint-Clair until you reach Rue du Pâquier, which will lead you towards the old town. Continue straight on Rue du Pâquier, and you will soon see the stunning St Pierre Cathedral rising before you on your left, located in the heart of Annecy's old town.

  From the Annecy train station, you can also take a bus to reach St Pierre Cathedral. Head to the bus station located right next to the train station.

After getting off the bus, walk towards the direction of the town hall, and follow the signs leading to the old town. As you walk, you'll see the stunning canals and charming streets of Annecy.
