Notes from the host
Rue Louis Revon
This flat works out well for in so many ways!
LOCATION
This 1930s building is in the golden triangle - close to the center of town with its canals and historic old town; but also close to Galeries Lafayette as well as close to Lake Annecy and Le Paquier. You want to stay IN Annecy or you will be needing to drive in heavy summer traffic, while you are able to walk to many places from this location. Another bonus about the location is that the apartment is directly across the street from the large Annecy Saturday morning market. You can walk out your door, pick up lunch and check out all the market vendors.
SPACIOUS
The apt. is on the convenient elevated ground floor. It is spacious, comfortable and correct. The high ceilings, charm and a private terrace are bonuses. The kitchen is modern and well supplied. The bathroom has also been updated as well as the WC. There is a vanity in the WC to help more than one person have sink and mirror access simultaneously. Two bedrooms plus a fold out sofa in the TV room make this a comfortable space for larger groups, but it is also a great base for a couple. The master bedroom has a queen size bed, the second bedroom has two singles and the fold out sofa is a full size mattress. There is a portable infant bed, high chair and inflatable child bathtub. Laundry on premises is reserved for two week and longer rentals.

Annecy: The Old Towne is loaded with charm! Boutiques, designer shops, galleries and cafés line the canals and the walking area near the lake. The pedestrian mall walk culminates at a modern shopping center 'Courier' and theatre complex. The train station is also next door. Grocery stores are in both the Old Towne as well as the Courier mall. All within walking range. Restaurants serve the traditional 'savoyard' dishes as well as classic french — some until the wee hours of the morning. Just minutes from the apartment is beautiful Lac Annecy and Le Paquier, the large park area with train and carousel rides. The Pacquier is host to picnics, soccer matches, events, walks, and benches to just relax and look out at the lake and surrounding mountains. A Galeries Lafayette shopping experience, along with restaurants, post office and other shops, is a two minute walk the other direction. Close to the Old Towne, but just far enough away to feel like you are in a residential 'non-tourist' area. Voila!
Around Annecy: If you plan to stay long enough to do some day trips or have a eurrail pass, the train station is a ten minute walk. There is a TGV 'fast train' to Paris from Annecy. If you arrive by car, a space is provided for parking. If you choose to rent bicycles a locked shed is available for storage or, if you prefer, you may store them carefully in the apt. It's on an elevated ground floor, meaning about 6-7 steps above ground level. If you want to take the bus, the stop is across the street. If you want to do more sightseeing by car, however, you are about an hour from Mt. Blanc, Europe's highest peak, and the Mt. Blanc tunnel which takes you into Italy. Switzerland is 30 minutes north, the French Riviera is about a four hour drive south and the Burgundy wine area is about three hours. Albertville, Chamonix, and Grenoble, all winter Olympic hosts, are all nearby. Geneva, an incredible, historic city, is less than an hour away. Your options are limitless from this excellent location.
