Neighbourhood
Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Our neighbours are mostly seniors. They very nice and helpfull, as long as we respect their privacy.
The lake is at only 100 meters, you just have to cross the road and follow a small path. In summer the water temperature is around 25° C, and you can enjoy all the water activities as swimming, sailing, or paddling. There are several beaches with restaurant along the lake. Our home is also at the bottom of the french alps. You can leave directly from the house for a hike on the Semnoz mountain. The Mont Blanc is around 1h driving. If you come in winter to ski the nearest resort is at the top of the Semnoz, which is 15-20 mn driving.
The old Annecy, a very lovely city with medieval heritage, is 5 minutes driving, 15 mn biking (there is a cycling path all along the lake shore). Geneva is 50 mn driving, Lyon 1h15.
