This palace, located on a rocky island, is a former prison, now hosting remarkable temporary exhibitions.

This palace, also called "Old Prisons", splits the waters of the Thiou canal with its stone bow. Built on a natural rocky island, this fortified house was in turn a prison - a puzzle game for children makes it a prison today -, a monetary workshop, a courthouse and an old people's asylum. The Palais de l'Île was listed as a historic monument in 1900 and houses the Centre d'Interprétation de l'Architecture et du Patrimoine (Architecture and Heritage Interpretation Centre), as well as a museum tour. The Palais de l'Île hosts remarkable temporary exhibitions.

Typique de la carte postale d'Annecy ! Mais quand on est sur les lieux, on comprend pourquoi.

Très déçu
S'il y a bien une visite à ne pas faire à Annecy c'est bien cell-ci, un attrape touriste, mais décevant à l'intérieur, ils ont comblé les pièces et les cellules afin de la rendre touristique maisil y a rien à voir,passez votre chemin et économisez quelques dizaines d'euros.

Petite visite du bâtiment intéréssante (voir les cachots, lisez le registre des prisonniers il y a de petites perles), partie de la visite sur l'urbanisme et le developpement de la vallée annecienne. 2€ pour les étudiants.

Outre une exposition permanente portant sur le Palais de l'Ile, de passionnantes expositions temporaires présentent divers aspects de la Ville, tant architecturaux que patrimoniaux.
