The owners: Aurélie and David
We settled in Aix les Bains 10 years ago. A job in Annecy for one, in Grenoble for the other: Aix les Bains was in between! This is how we discovered this small inland sea that is the Lac du Bourget in its mountain setting, plateaus and summits in the Bauges and the chance to live daily with our 3 children in a holiday destination. We will be happy to welcome you with a smile, in French or in English and to advise you on the best tours around.
