Annecy Travel Forum

Hello

I am looking for a studio or flat to rent for September in Annecy. Can you recommend any places? My problem is that I had had airline tickets ordered before I found out that language school assures accomodation for exactly one month and cannot extend reservation by two extra days in October. This is strange for me so I am trying to find something by myself

Thanks in advance for your help

We are travelling in late September from the Riviera to Geneva, and wanted to break our journey somewhere around Lyon. Friends suggested that Annecy may be an option. I know that it's a different route, but any ideas or opinions, and where could a family of 4 stay reasonably for 2 nights in either place?
What are the roads like to travel on these routes?

Does anyone know the website for autobus and coach timetables from Annecy Bus Station. I understand that the coach from Geneva is easier and faster than trying by train. The DB timetable showed the train taking at least 2hrs 40 minutes with the last leg being done by bus! Well done rural SNCF.

Hi All:

My husband, myself and 9 year old are wrapping up our trip in the vicinity of Annecy and are looking to stay in a fairly resonable place as we'll be out of money!!! Any suggestions for in the town or just outside in a smaller village? We have a car so we'll be mobile. Also, anyone have any suggestions for a day trip around the area. We'll have been staying in Albertville to see the Tour and also down to visit Chamonix so we are looking for something else to see in the area.

Cheers.

I am going to stay in annecy for one year (from june 2005 to june 2006) and I am still searching for a job, eg in a resturant. has anyone of you a tip for me??
thx :)

Hello, I'm planning to come to Annecy on September. so I wish to know what is the best way to get there from Paris? and what is the best way to get there fron Geneva? the best way will be the cheapest and fastest way.
I'm talking only about public transportation because I'm too young to rent a car.
From Geneva a train seems to be an excellent idea (since it's close), but all the trains i can find takes about 2 hours to get to annecy because they make some stops. are all the trains like that or maybe i'm just looking in the wrong places?
From Paris I believe the best way is to take a flight to Annecy airport, or is it not?
please tell me what you think i should do.
Thank you.

How much does a coffee cost in Annecy, and are there any inexpensive restaurants

Hi, I'm visiting Annecy in early June and wondering what the weather during the day will be like?

Can anyone direct me to a good bike rental shop in the area of Annecy? Most of us will be bringing our own bikes, but some short-timers don't want the hassle of transporting ~ we're all serious riders, so need very good bikes.
Thanks in advance.

I'm planning for a trip to Annecy during late May for 2 nights. Can anyone suggest some nice places around Annecy for a short visit. Lonely plannet guidebook mentions about Sevrier, Menthon-St-Bernard, Talloires, Chambery and etc. Are they interesting?

I plan to visit Annecy around mid June. What is the temperature like at that time? Do I need air-conditioning for the hotel I will be staying in? Thanks in advance.

We loved Annecy so much we want to go again next year but for longer. The only trouble is I'm having trouble trying to find much info on renting a holiday apartment in Annecy. Can anyone help?

Any British living in Annecy???

We'd like to visit the gorges. Is there any public transport to them from Annecy?

Thanks

I will be in Annecy from 20th -24th July with my husband and son. We will be travelling by train as we've bought Inter-Rail passes. I'd like to know if there's likely to be any organised trips to see the Tour on the day it goes over the Col de la Forclaz. Does anyone have any other suggestions? We won't hire a car as we've never driven abroad befor and it'll probably be too busy.

Thanks

I too am visiting Annecy from May 14 to the 20th and am not sure what types of clothes to pack for Annecy itself. Am clear on the Mont Blanc clothing but not Annecy or Lake Geneva. Will be moving on to Provence for 6 days after Annecy. Any advice for either area in terms of weather and clothing?

Hi,

I'm enrolled in a French program in Annecy. I will be in town from april to mid-june. I wonder what the weather will be like. And is there anything special I should bring with me?

I'm excited.

Having difficulty finding train/bus that does this. Looked on the Swiss SBB wite and it said something like take a"tram" from the other side of Lac Leman (Lake Geneva). Then, bus, or tain ., etc. TIME: 4 hours! But when I searched it again, it couldn't find any connections. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Would like to travel from Annecy to Aosta(Italy) and then up to Switzerland. Wondering what is best means of tranportation. Train? Car? Can one pick up a car in Italy and then drop it off in Switzerland? Expensive? Would getting a Eurorail pass be cheapest?
