What are the temperatures likely to be in Annecy around Christmas?

will travel from Nyon, Swisszerland to Yvoire and then to Annecy. I would like to ask for some information.

1 Is there luggages deposit service at Yvoire?
2 Is there any way of transportation which is direct from Yvoire to Annecy? If no --- The time and the price of the bus from Yvoire to Thonon les Bains. I would like to get to the train station at Thonon les Bains to catch the train to Annecy.

Thank you.

Once in Lyon, what is the best way to get to St. Euxpery airport?

Hi,
I've been staying in Lyon for a little while and I'm getting restless to try out some new places. Before I head south I was reading about some amazing trips to Chamonix and around the gondolas and I was wondering if anyone could offer some perspective/travel tips? I don't have a car so I know it would be a bit of a trek... Worth it?

Thanks for the help!

We are a family of 6 and will be staying in Les Houches during August. We want to spend most of our time doing day hikes in the Chamonix valley.We will be flying to and from Geneva. We don't know whether we will need a car to begin and end hiking routes and whether we will want a car to travel in the Chamonix area. we do not want to add unecessary expenses but do want to hike a lot and maximise our stay in the area. Please advise. thank you.

Hello...can someone tell me how I can get to Lyon from Budapest? I don't know which airport (if I use an airline) to land or what form of transporation to take. There doesn't seem to be too many options based on my research but I may be looking at the wrong airports. Please help as I am traveling in July.

My son is running the Marathon du Mont Blanc on 29th June. We have heard the Brevant lift is closing until December 2008 is this correct. As the finish is on Planpraz and the runners at the finish and spectators would need to use the lift to get to and from Pranplaz will it still be open for the Marathon. Any information would help. Thank you.

How much does it cost to take a cruise on the Rhone River Cruise?

Please advise best transportation from Geneva to Annecy. We will not have a car.
The train schedules seem arduous. One recommendation was to take bus/tram from airport to Eaux Vives train station for the most direct journey to Annecy. Also,
any information about the bus appreciated. Does it run from the airport, how long
is the journey, etc?
Many thanks.

Hello! I am looking for a possibility to reach Les deux Alpes from Manosque by bus.
Could you help me to solve this problem?
Many thanks.

My wife and I are spending 5 weeks in Europe (Groningen, Netherlands will be our base site) this summer. I want to try and get to Alpe D' Huez and ride up the famed mountain. My questions are: should I go to Grenoble (which is not far from Alpe D' Huez) by train? from Paris? or Gronigen? I am unable to ship my bicycle from USA therefore I need the name of a bike shop or travel agency who could help me with bike rental and hotel for 1 night. I want to ride the 15.29 KM either 10 days before the Tour de France riders go up this mountain; or after the Tour passes through the area. Thank you and any help/suggestions will be appreciated.

Would like to know where the screenings are for the Annecy Animation Festival.
Keeping that in mind,where would be the best place to stay in relation to the festival.
