Though only 15 km from Annecy and 1 km from the Lake, very close to all cultural activities and sports, La Grange de Julie is a quiet and peaceful house in a garden, with surrounding views of the mountains.
La Grange de Julie has spacious common arias, a big open fireplace, a piano upstairs… and all the charm and comfort of a private family home.
The rooms (each with an ensuite bath) are different, comfortable, colourful, with a mixture of heirloom furniture and modern touches – and hand embroidered cushions and books all over the place (mostly in English : Sylvie's mother is American, so Sylvie speaks and reads English). There are some things old, and some things new, quite a few old toys... almost everything has a funny story to it, and the story goes on, written with the help of our guests.

Nearby attractions and activities:

Annecy is a enchanting historical town – and just 15 kms away; from our house, you can drive there, or cycle, or take a bus... or, in summer, take a boat ! Annecy is not only a lovely place to just walk around, with old passageways along the canals between lovingly restored Italian renaissance houses (market days are favorites), but is also a lively place with museums, concerts, festivals... a kaleidoscope of cultural and sports activities
Sport lovers will find a large choice of activities all year around easily accessible from our house. In winter, skiing or snowboarding, if preferred, is just 20 km away; the rest of the year, you can enjoy hiking (you can leave from our house), cycling (a cycling trail all the way to Annecy is 1 km away), paragliding (the Col de la Forclaz in front of our windows is a well-known spot), golf (two golf-clubs are less than 10 km from here),… and in summer, all the water sports : the lake is 23°, and perfect for bathing and sailing, or, higher up, canyoning,…
The area abounds in natural reserves – the first one is 2 km from our house.
It is also to be noted that very many restaurants are to be found all around the lake – you can choose from the whole scale from simple local food (mostly based on cheese) to "three star" Chef's cooking.
Around Annecy, castles, churches and abbeys are witnesses to the rich history of our region.
Further away, Chamonix-Mont Blanc is a possible day-excursion.
Shopping facilities : Doussard, 2km from our house, has all the necessary shops.

Directions:

From Annecy, take the direction Faverges/Albertville by R.N. 508 (the lake is on your left side).
When you get right at the other end of the lake (called « Bout du Lac » after Duingt and before getting to Doussard), turn right in direction of Lathuile till you get to the roundabout.
Turn right again at the roundabout (route de Chevilly), la GRANGE DE JULIE is 450 metres (n°450) further on, on your right again.
If you do get lost - or late… call 04.50.44.38.87.

Informations about the meals/restaurants:
