Annecy (Auvergne Rhône Alpes)

Veyrier-du-Lac - its region and its real estate market

Veyrier-du-Lac - its region and its real estate market

At the heart of the Haute-Savoie department, close to Geneva and Italy, Annecy is a city that has retained its charm and authenticity. Proudly known as the “Venice of the Alps”, Annecy is undoubtedly one of France's most beautiful cities.

Once the fief of the Counts of Geneva, then the Dukes of Savoy, Annecy treasures the vestiges of an eventful history, right up to its annexation to France in the 19th century. At that time, European high society succumbed to the city's irresistible charm. Annecy became a popular holiday resort. Today, with its picture-postcard scenery, beautiful lake, proximity to the Alps and privileged living environment, the Pearl of the Alps is more fascinating than ever.

Annecy's medieval center is an invitation to stroll and discover. With its canals, colorful buildings, château overlooking the old town, bridges, Palais de l'Isle, Basilique de la Visitation and Cathedral Saint-Pierre, everything contributes to the aura of the place. But it's above all its mountain lake, one of the purest in Europe, that has earned Annecy its reputation. It's for these assets that Annecy has attracted such illustrious figures as Napoleon III, Empress Eugénie and Churchill.

Annecy and the surrounding area offer a wealth of natural attractions. The lake is an ideal place to go for a walk or bike ride, enjoy an outdoor or nautical activity or simply bask in the sun. Hiking enthusiasts will be delighted to explore the nature reserves around the lake. Numerous Alpine peaks are within easy reach, with Mont Blanc only an hour's drive away. Annecy is also punctuated by festivities throughout the year, with such not-to-be-missed events as the Venetian Carnival and the International Animation Film Festival.

The region and its real estate market

In Annecy, the Golden Triangle that runs from the prefecture to the lake is particularly sought-after for high-end real estate. Around the lake, the two shores, especially the East Shore, are also coveted by buyers. Villages such as Menthon-Saint-Bernard, Talloires-Montmin and Sévrier are among the most sought-after.

The most sought-after luxury properties in the area are luxury apartments, charming villas, prestigious properties and beautiful mountain chalets. A sublime view of the lake or mountains is a frequently sought-after criterion.
