Auberge du Père Bise, 5-Star Hotel
Tucked away in Talloires-Montmin on the edge of Lake Annecy, the Auberge du Père Bise offers a restorative retreat in the heart of the Alps. More than just a getaway for the night, it’s a hedonistic escape that feels like a fully immersive experience. First, follow the lakeshore and leave behind the bustle of Annecy. Pass the Roc de Chère—a rocky promontory and forested nature reserve that overlooks the Bay of Talloires. Just before descending, take a moment to lift your gaze and take in the view: a line of ridges, peaks, and summits rising above the shimmering waters of Lake Annecy.
Then descend towards the lake along the port road, weaving between the village’s picturesque houses, cyclists, and walkers until you reach the Auberge du Père Bise, right at the lake’s edge. You’re greeted, welcomed, and seated on the dock, as close to the water as it gets, with a welcome cocktail from the Marius Bar in hand. Already, everything feels different.
