Welcome to Annecy! Who are we?
We simply offer you to get into the everyday aspect of our city, with its canals, its lake, its alleys, its bistros…
During this walk, Annecy locals, “greeters”, in love with their city, will be happy to share with you the charm of unusual places and to tell you the big and small stories of their city. This visit we will make with you, in and around the city, will take into account your tastes, your interests and your rhythm.
We are volunteers, members of the International Association of Greeters. We want to introduce visitors to Annecy, just as we would for friends. We are neither interpreters nor graduate speakers, but curious locals, passionate about the riches of our region, who speak several languages, and want to meet and welcome curious travelers.
