L'Abbaye De Talloires is steeped in a 1000 years of history, in 1018 Monks took up residence and built their own cells and formed the embryo of a small monastery. In the 17th century the abbey was twice destroyed by fire. Reconstruction of the actual building was finished 1681. After the French revolution the monastery became a wine making company and in 1840 horse stables. It wasn't until 1862 it became an Inn and the first hotel restaurant on the banks of Lake Annecy.
Today you can still admire the cloister and the Grand Gallery with it's doors to the monk's ancient cells.

There are two restaurants, fine dining with the Aux Jardins des Délices gourmet restaurant and La Table de Cézanne brasserie-restaurant open for lunch during summer. The historical wine cellar is filled with hidden treasures and was awarded 1st prize for the Best wine list in France in the category of Fine dining restaurants 2017.

All Rooms and suites offer something different, the dowdy chic decor is perfectly sympathetic to L'Abbaye's long history. There is also a cosy and welcoming Spa on the top floor, a vaulted Cellar bar for romantic evenings and late night drinking. Finally stretched along the waters edge is the decked pontoon equipped with an abundance of sunbeds where you can escape the world.
