The GPS coordinates for the house are 45.793972, 6.214192 and the address is 1850 Route d’Annecy, 74210 Le Bout du Lac, near Doussard.
The village is Bout du Lac but often does not show on the GPS as it is tiny, nor does our house number so enter Doussard into your GPS which is the nearest village from us about 3 kms south west of us.
Coming from Annecy, you will come through Bout Du Lac, the last village on the west side of the lake. Our house is the last one in the village, so keep an eye out to make sure you don’t drive straight past us! Once you enter Bout du Lac you will pass a large red sign saying Chez ma Cousine (great restaurant on the lake), we are the next turn left after that. There are 2 white houses. We are the far black one, on the lake and river.
If travelling without a GPS: Follow signs to Annecy, as you approach Annecy take the EXIT 16 marked for Albertville, keep following Albertville signs which will take you onto the D1508 down the right hand side of the lake. (The lake will be on your left)
Our laundry is cleaned by professional cleaners, also implementing the Government rules and using eco friendly produces whenever possible.
The environment is precious to us, and you will appreciate, whilst staying with us, how fortunate we are to benefit from such pure waters and magnificent landscapes. We will therefore call to your attention to avoid wastage (electricity and water) and to buy plastic free and recycle your waste whenever possible. All the information will be available in the Welcome Folder available at the property. The folder is also available in big print for vision impaired people .
