Description

Staying at the Abbey, erected in 1681 by Benedictine monks, is to make the most of an exceptional location on the shores of Lake Annecy. The Abbay of Talloires has preserved its character of authenticity over the centuries and remains unchanged since its construction but, of course, progressive improvements and modernisation have taken place to provide greater comfort. The former cells of the monks have been transformed into warm and confortable rooms. More than just a hotel, the Abbay of Talloires is a haven of serenity and sophistication / refinement and will seduce you with its charm.

Restaurant "Aux Jardins des Délices" proposes a fine, inventive and original cuisine, enhanced by wine from the extensive, historical wine cellar. Served in the perfect surroundings of the dining rooms or the shaded terraces, gourmet and regional specialities will delight all your senses. With its mural tapestries, its magnificent ceilings and its chimney, the "Ermengarde" dining room evokes the majestic surroundings once appreciated by the Dukes of Savoy. Opening onto the garden, it offers the perfect atmosphere for wedding receptions and seminars and, in the winter, for dinners by the fire.
