L'Abbaye de Talloires
Though you’ll find the standard modern amenities, change has arrived slowly. Entertainment still comes largely in the form of lounging by the shore, strolling around the grounds, perusing the hotel’s art exhibitions and occasionally taking in a classical concert held in the gallery. During the summer months, the pastime of choice is hanging out on the lime tree–shaded terrace, lingering over meals. The fare is light and fresh — herbs from the hotel’s garden, fish from the water lapping below, meat and seasonal produce from the local markets. If the food has a sort of relaxed sophistication, the wine list is downright serious. Should you prefer your wine at least half a century old, there’s plenty to choose from, though you’re spoiled for choice in the 30-euro range, too. Just don’t expect to go drinking your way through the trendiest New World upstarts. This is, after all, an old French country hotel, and Germany and Switzerland are about as exotic as it gets.
Nor are the interior decorators particularly swayed by the latest international design trends, which is fair enough when you’re working with a beautiful, centuries-old abbey. Antique oak furniture, oversized drapes and exposed timbers are more the norm, while the most original room (the Prior’s) has parquet floors laid down in 1681. Given the setting, what’s perhaps most important is that every room comes with a view.
How to get there: L’Abbaye de Talloires is located 23 minutes by car from Gare d’Annecy (TGV Station).
