Duingt, a picturesque village

This beautiful “village fleuri” was a wonderful discovery for me. We came here one Sunday to visit and escape the crowds in Annecy (Haute-Savoie). We sat in the sun by the lake to relax and admire the view. Afterwards, we walked around the village to discover its true soul.

As you can see, it looks like it emerged from a fairy tale story... at least that's how I see it... I am completely in love with this place; each little nook and cranny, the church, the Chateauvieux castle, the panoramic view from the chapel next to the cemetery (it may sound macabre, but, believe me, it is a beautiful and peaceful place!!).

Everything in this village with the unpronounceable name is overwhelmingly charming.

  3. I have often admired Duingt as I passed through it on my way to Mëribel and Albertville. You have convinced me that I need to stop and explore it one day. There is more than meets the eye from the road.
