Why choose Annecy for your road trip

Annecy — a city worth exploring

Annecy's old town sits on the banks of Europe's cleanest lake, Lac d'Annecy, where water clarity is maintained by strict environmental regulations dating back to 1960. The Palais de l'Île, a 12th-century castle perched on a tiny island in the Thiou canal, remains one of France's most photographed monuments. Stroll along the Jardins de l'Europe, cross the Pont des Amours, and take in the views from the Château d'Annecy, which houses a regional museum with Alpine art and natural history collections. The Basilique de la Visitation, set on a hillside above the city, offers a panoramic lookout across the lake and surrounding peaks. Chamonix-Mont-Blanc lies just 97 km to the east, while Geneva is only 42 km to the north, making Annecy a brilliant base for cross-border adventures. The roads around the lake are well-suited to larger vehicles, with wide lanes and gentle gradients that make driving a motorhome comfortable and enjoyable. Hiring a campervan through Yescapa means you can connect with local owners in the Annecy area who know the best lakeside spots and mountain routes. With peer-to-peer sharing, you get personal recommendations alongside a well-maintained vehicle. Whether you plan to cycle the 40 km loop around the lake or paddle on its turquoise waters, Annecy rewards those who arrive with the freedom to explore at their own pace in a campervan.

Best time to visit

Annecy welcomes visitors warmly throughout the year. The Fête du Lac in early August lights up the sky with one of Europe's largest firework displays over the water, while the Annecy International Animation Film Festival in June draws creative minds from around the globe. Summer is the most popular season for lake activities, so booking your campervan early through Yescapa gives you access to competitive peer-to-peer rates. Spring and autumn bring quieter roads and pleasant temperatures for exploring the mountains, with campsites offering more availability. Winter transforms Annecy into a gateway to nearby ski resorts, ideal for a cosy motorhome trip.

Frequently asked questions

What our users say about our campervans and motorhomes in Annecy

Andrea
5 / 5

We had a fantastic experience travelling around Gran Canaria! The van was clean, well maintained and everything was working properly when we picked it up. Travelling by camper gave us the freedom to explore the island at our own pace and decide day by day where to go and where to stop. We explored the south of the island around Maspalomas, but also drove inland and visited beautiful villages such as Teror. Having the van made it really easy to move between different parts of the island and made the whole trip much more fun and spontaneous. Gran Canaria is also very well suited to travelling by camper, with good roads and facilities for campervans, so we never had any particular problems during our trip. José was very helpful and available throughout the whole experience, both for the pick-up and return of the van. He was flexible whenever we needed something and also gave us some great recommendations for places to visit and restaurants to try. Overall, it was a great way to experience Gran Canaria, and we would definitely recommend José and his van to anyone who wants to explore the island with the freedom of a campervan! 🚐🇮🇨

We had a fantastic experience in Madeira with Romero and Anabela’s car. Although the vehicle is quite old, it’s in excellent condition. The furniture provided was also in good condition and covered all our needs for our stay. The owners were incredibly kind, helpful, and always available during our time there.

Paloma and Raid were great in every sense, thoughtful about everything, easy to communicate with and left the van in great condition upon return, and they are very pleasant people overall, so all the recommendations for them!

Joery
5 / 5

What a fantastic camper! It's cozy and comfortable, with everything you need on board. It also drives really nicely. We used it for a road trip along the Portuguese coast, and it was perfect for the trip. Pedro is an excellent owner: he took plenty of time to explain everything clearly, responds quickly to questions, and also gave us some great tips for the best spots to camp. In short, highly recommended!

Jacob
5 / 5

Our trip with Davide’s van to the Dolomites and northern Italy was incredible. He was always responsive and helpful with all questions. His van is very impressive and has everything you need for a long journey. Would 10/10 do it again!
