Why choose Annecy for your road trip

Annecy — a city worth exploring

Annecy sits at the northern tip of Lac d'Annecy, a lake so clean it is often called the purest in Europe, fed by mountain springs filtered through protected marshlands since a 1960s restoration programme. The medieval Palais de l'Île, perched on a tiny island in the Thiou canal, has served as a prison, courthouse and mint over seven centuries and remains the most photographed landmark in the old town. Stroll along the Jardins de l'Europe, cross the Pont des Amours footbridge, and follow the lakeside cycle path that stretches 40 km around the entire shore. The Château d'Annecy, a former residence of the Counts of Geneva, now houses a regional museum with Alpine natural-history collections. For a wider perspective, take the road up to the Col de la Forclaz viewpoint or hike the trails around La Tournette, the highest peak on the eastern shore at 2 351 m. Geneva is just 42 km to the north, making a cross-border day trip easy, while Chambéry lies 51 km to the south along the A41 motorway. The roads around the lake are well surfaced but can be narrow in places, so choosing the right vehicle matters. With Yescapa, you hire a campervan or motorhome directly from local owners who know the best lakeside pull-ins and mountain routes, giving you insider knowledge alongside the freedom to explore the French Alps at your own pace.

Best time to visit

Annecy comes alive in June with the Fête du Lac, one of Europe's largest pyromusical firework displays held over the water in early August, and the Annecy International Animation Film Festival each June draws creators from around the world. Summer is the busiest season, so booking your campervan early through Yescapa gives you access to competitive peer-to-peer prices before availability tightens. Spring and autumn bring quieter roads around the lake and mild conditions ideal for cycling or hiking. Winter opens up nearby ski resorts such as La Clusaz, just 32 km away, making a motorhome hire a cosy base camp for the slopes.

Where to park your motorhome

Parking a larger vehicle in Annecy requires a little planning. The town centre has height barriers on most underground car parks, so campervans and motorhomes should use dedicated surface areas. Overnight parking in public car parks is generally permitted unless signs state otherwise, but always check local signage for time limits. A dedicated motorhome aire is the safest option for an overnight stay close to the action.

  • Parking des Marquisats, 1km south — Large surface car park south of the old town beside the lake, suitable for taller vehicles. Walking distance to the Jardins de l'Europe and the old town.
  • Aire de stationnement du Paquier, 1km north — Open-air parking area on the Pâquier esplanade near the lakefront. Popular in summer, so arrive early. Height-friendly for motorhomes.
  • Parking de la Tournette, 14km southeast — Spacious car park on the eastern outskirts, handy for accessing hiking trails towards La Tournette. Flat surface with room for larger vehicles.
