PREFERENCE EVENTS, EVENT MANAGEMENT AGENCY, ORGANISES TAILOR-MADE CORPORATE SEMINARS, BOARD MEETINGS AND INCENTIVE TRIPS IN ANNECY, SAVOIE.
Its nicknames of ‘The Pearl of the French Alps’ and ‘The Venice of the Alps’ speak volumes about the charm of the town with its 4 bell towers. The canals, cobbled streets and medieval architecture of the old town make Annecy a town to discover on foot. The walk will take you along the Paquier river and through the gardens of Europe via the Pont des Amours bridge, and will continue as far as the ‘old prisons’ and the Château d’Annecy overlooking the old quarters. Along the Thiou canal, discover the cobbled pedestrian streets (notably Place and Rue Sainte Claire), under arcades typical of the Italian architectural influence.
Above all, Annecy owes its fame to its lake, which, thanks to efforts to protect it over the last 50 years, is now the purest in Europe. When the sun comes out, it’s a fantastic playground for team-building activities.
Last but not least, Annecy’s Savoyard art de vivre will delight the guests at your company seminar or incentive trip. Five Michelin-starred chefs rub shoulders in fine restaurants in and around the town, serving cuisine based on the lake’s fishing and pasture produce, especially cheeses…
The hinterland and surrounding area are also full of treasures to discover during your stay or your corporate event: Annecy is an excellent base for trekking or mountain biking in the mountains.
Annecy is the perfect health and nature destination for organising a seminar, a board meeting or a team-building trip, between lake and mountains.

Annecy’s luxury establishments can also be used to organise exceptional stays for VIP groups (press trips, award trips).
