Stay in this quiet neighbourhood of Annecy to get away from the bustle of the town centre while still being within walking distance of major sites. 

Enjoy a peaceful side of the lovely Alpine town of Annecy by basing yourself in the Cran-Gevrier district. When you feel like seeing some beautiful historic sites, walk to the busier Old Town within 30 minutes.

The hill that hosts Cran-Gevrier has been occupied for many centuries. Try to imagine what this place must have looked like well over a thousand years ago, when the Romans were the very first to build a settlement here. Visit today and you will find that Cran-Gevrier now consists of two tiny former villages: Cran and Gevrier. Over time, these two hamlets were combined with one another and were eventually incorporated into the wider town of Annecy.

Spend some time enjoying a walk along the banks of the beautiful Thiou, the river that runs through the neighborhood. Follow the river southeast all the way to the scenic old town of Annecy.

Bring kids to the La Turbine science center, a fantastic attraction located in Cran-Gevrier and easily accessible from anywhere in the neighborhood. This modern facility aims to promote science through events and exhibits, and even has its own movie theater.

Make the short journey into the heart of the town to visit attractions such as Annecy Castle, which is hundreds of years old and houses a wonderful museum, as well as a range of beautiful and historic churches. The old town is also located right next to sparkling Lake Annecy. Rent a kayak or boat and head out on the bright blue lake, or spend a sunny day lounging on its banks and cooling down in its waters.

Arrive at Annecy’s train station and you will be able to walk to Cran-Gevrier in just over 20 minutes. Spend some time exploring the old town before making your way to this lovely neighborhood. Choose from a range of different accommodations offered in the area.
