Talloires
A small village in a quiet bay on the east shore, with an ancient abbey, Michelin-starred restaurants and a lakeside beach. It is considered the most beautiful village on the lake.
Talloires lies in a crescent-shaped bay on the east shore, backed by steep cliffs, with the Duingt peninsula across the water. The Benedictine abbey in the village was founded in the 11th century and is now a lakeside hotel. A small jetty, a lakeside beach and several upscale restaurants make it a resort destination. You can reach it from Annecy by boat or by bicycle, and paths from the village lead to the Roc de Chère nature reserve and the Angon waterfall. The bay's free beach is popular in summer.
