Annecy-le-Vieux 10 Chemin du Bray, 74940 Annecy
The Jean XXIII Center is located just a few minutes from the old town of Annecy, in a quiet, tree-lined environment. Situated on the heights of Annecy-le-Vieux, it enjoys a secluded position, ideal for rest as well as concentration. Upon arrival, you will discover a peaceful atmosphere, far from the hustle and bustle, with Lake Annecy and the Bauges mountain range as a backdrop. Your gaze naturally drifts towards these open horizons, and the well-maintained park invites disconnection.
The establishment spans a two-hectare enclosed estate, dotted with trees and flowered areas. This lush vegetation contributes to the serene ambiance of the place, enhanced by open spaces such as the sunny terrace or the park's pathways. It is a setting suitable for a wide variety of stays: whether it's a solo vacation, family trip, associative gathering, spiritual retreat, or professional session, the spaces at the Jean XXIII Center provide a consistent response to every need.
The rooms distributed throughout the building are accessible by elevator and designed with simplicity and functionality in mind. You will find minimalist furniture, comfortable bedding, a private bathroom with a shower and toilet, and, in some cases, a balcony overlooking the landscape. The rooms accommodate one to four people, and a dozen are adapted for people with reduced mobility. While they are not air-conditioned, their layout, openings, and orientation ensure a pleasant atmosphere, even in summer.
The tranquility of the place is further enhanced by good insulation and a location away from noisy roads. Whether staying for a few nights or a longer period, you will appreciate the serenity of the entire property, as well as the efficiency of a well-organized accommodation.
The establishment also offers convivial spaces, including a cozy common lounge conducive to conversation or reading. Several terraces and small park nooks also allow for gathering or solitude, depending on the time of day. In this spirit of flexible hospitality, the center provides various services upon request, such as catering services by reservation.
The dining area is a real asset of the Jean XXIII Center. Two bright dining rooms can host meals, one of which opens onto a remarkable panorama. The cuisine served is simple and authentic, with particular attention paid to regional products. This choice of local, on-site prepared cuisine aligns with the philosophy of the place, focused on discreet quality and conviviality.
For groups, professional teams, or event organizers, the center offers a complete infrastructure: eight modular and well-equipped meeting rooms, as well as a 120-seat amphitheater, make it possible to create tailor-made gatherings in an environment conducive to focus. The diversity of available formats – from small workshops to large assemblies – allows for great flexibility of use.
A private lounge with 30 seats can also be reserved for family or sports events. These various configurations meet the expectations of a wide range of guests, in an environment designed to encourage interactions without excessive formality.
Parking is facilitated by two private and free parking lots, an undeniable convenience in a city where traffic can be heavy. For those who prefer eco-friendly transportation, bike paths and public transport serve the area, allowing quick access to Annecy's various neighborhoods.
Wi-Fi is available throughout the establishment, enabling you to stay connected for professional needs, to communicate with loved ones, or to prepare the next steps of your trip.
You will be less than two kilometers from the lake and about three kilometers from the old town. These very reasonable distances make it easy to explore Annecy while enjoying a more serene place to stay, away from tourist crowds.
From the Jean XXIII Center, you can quickly reach the lake's shores, follow its translucent waters, and discover beaches, ports, or paths designed for cyclists and walkers. The Thiou promenade or the Vassé canal offer lovely walks into the city center, as does the ascent to the heights of Semnoz or the trails around Mont Veyrier.
The old town of Annecy, with its cobbled streets, arcades, canals, and colorful facades, deserves a thorough visit. You'll find both artisan shops and historical sites. The Palais de l'Île, an emblem of the city, and the Château d’Annecy, perched on the heights, are two must-sees. The animation film museum, housed in the castle, offers an original discovery of the region's artistic heritage.
Culture enthusiasts can also explore the Museum-Castle, with its temporary exhibitions, or the Conservatory of Art and History, often overlooked but fascinating. During the summer, festivals enliven local life: the International Animation Film Festival, the Noctibules, or the Early Music Festival bring a special vitality to the city.
For those looking to immerse themselves in nature, Annecy's surroundings offer countless possibilities: hikes in the Bauges, paragliding in Talloires, boat excursions, or even cross-country skiing nearby in winter. The Jean XXIII Center, with its location and philosophy, is equally suited for relaxation and discovery in a region where the charm of the landscape blends with the richness of encounters.
