Activities/Attractions: Lathuile is situated just above the South end of the "Lac d'Annecy"- the purest lake in Europe -, with Annecy at the other end, 15 km away. The lake (known as the "silver lake"), Annecy ("the Venice of the Alps") and all the villages surrounding it are one of the most beautiful and charming alpine settings you will find.

Annecy is a enchanting historical town  you will find interesting museums, old passageways along the canals between lovingly restored Italian renaissance houses - but Annecy is a also an artistic center and a lively place: festivals of all sorts, concerts, sport competitions succeed each other almost all year around.

• Sport lovers will find a large choice of activities all year around
  
• In winter, skiing or snowboarding, if preferred, is just 20 km away
  
• The rest of the year, you can enjoy hiking (you can leave from our house)
  
• Cycling (a cycling trail all the way to Annecy is 1 km away)
  
• Paragliding (the Col de la Forclaz in front of our windows is a well-known spot)
  
• Golf (two golf-clubs are less than 10 km from here)
  
• In summer, all the water sports: the lake is 23°C, and perfect for bathing and sailing
  
• Higher up you can try canyoning
  
• Also, the area abounds in natural reserves - the first one is 2 km from our house
  
• It is also to be noted that very many restaurants are to be found all around the lake
  
• Further away, Chamonix-Mont Blanc is a possible day-excursion
  

Back to France Listings

General Information: Welcome to "La Grange de Julie" in Lathuile, France ... a French Bed and Breakfast (Chambres d'Hôtes) in Rhône-Alpes situated in it's own garden, away from the road, and so very quiet even though it is in the middle of the village of Lathuile, only 1 km away from the lake and 15 km from Annecy. The surrounding views are of the mountains with their ever changing colors: La Tournette, le Col de la Forclaz, le Charbon.

Owner-architect Jean-François transformed the almost empty volume of the original barn into our family home. The house is furnished with a mixture of family heirlooms, books, toys (old and new), colorful bedspreads and hand-embroidered cushions, books everywhere (mostly in English!), a piano ... almost everything has a funny story to it, and is meant to be used and enjoyed.

• The rooms are all different (though each one has a private bathroom)
  
• Needless to say that the heating, hot water and bathrooms are completely up to modern standards
  
• We also offer a family room for four people
  
• There is a big open fireplace in the ground floor dining room
  
• French windows have replaced the original barn doors so that sunlight flows in all day
  
• Breakfast is served every day - inside or out, depending on the weather
  
• As we only rent a few rooms, the house is never overcrowded and the atmosphere remains that of a comfortable, peaceful, private family home, that it is our pleasure to share with our guests
