There is still one EXCELLENT week available in August. The last week (30aug-06sep). The week 13-20 sep is also open and the weather is still beautiful and the crowds have thinned down. Discounted rates for stays two weeks and longer. The last half of October still has a two week slot open. This apartment works out very well on a number of fronts: location, size, parking, and cost. Winter rates are the most affordable time to stay in Annecy.

"Location" might best describe the situation of this charming, smoke-free center of town apartment located just minutes from canalled and historic old town Annecy, France. And yes, you can walk to Annecy's annual spectacular water show Fete du Lac! The apartment is located IN Annecy, not near Annecy. You won't end up feeling "out of the loop".

On the ground floor of a four story 1930s building, this apartment is right across the street from the traditional Saturday morning open air market. You can pick up your lunch and eat outdoors on the private terrasse. Or have your coffee along with a fresh pastry from the end of the block.

Wonderful Lake Annecy, considered the cleanest lake in Europe, features beaches, fishing and sailing throughout its ten mile mountain rimmed expanse- only minutes from the house. Spacious views of the Alps beckon hikers, gliders and bikers to the many world class trails within minutes of "home." If trout fishing is your water sport, the Fier River is nearby.

The Old Towne is loaded with boutique style shops and cafés lining the canals near the lake and the walk culminates at a modern shopping and theatre complex. All within walking range. A Galeries Lafayette shopping experience, along with restaurant and grocery store, is a two minute walk the other direction.

The apartment is comfortable and correct, but not overly pretentious. We bought it because we loved the location, the high ceilings and the private terrasse. There is a queen size bed in one bedroom, two single beds in a second and a sofa bed in a third room, which doubles as a tv/office room. There is also a portable crib.

The kitchenette, while compact, is completely supplied with fridge, micro, coffee maker, dishes and appliances. The toilet is separate from the bathroom, which has an cabin shower, sink and shelves. The living area is a combined living/dining room. Tall french doors open to steps to the fenced in private terrasse with table, parasol and BBQ.

If you plan to stay long enough to do some day trips the train station is a ten minute walk. If you rent a car a space is provided for parking. If you choose to rent bicycles a locked shed is available for storage. 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.

Your options are limitless from this excellent location. You are close to the Old Towne to walk, but just far enough away to feel like you are in a quiet, residential setting. Pets are negotiable.

This apartment is a find and we hope to establish some long-term relationships that can enjoy the changes along with us as we go. We'll leave several brochures in different languages to help you get acclimated to Annecy and all the area offers. We're happy to talk to you in English or French and give you more advice and suggestions to make this a wonderful time for you!

The apartment is internet access and long distance phone call ready if you prefer avoiding the internet cafes. An internet cafe is nearby.

Washing machine option is available for three week stays or longer.
