Jardins de l'Europe: A Serene Escape in Annecy

Getting There

• Walking

  If you're starting from the Annecy train station (Gare d'Annecy), exit the station and head west towards the city center. Walk straight down Avenue du Tresum until you reach the canal. At this point, turn left onto Rue de la République and follow it until you reach the end of the street at the Place de la Gare. Continue straight toward the Rue Carnot and cross the bridge over the canal. Once you cross, keep walking straight, and you will soon see the beautiful Jardins de l'Europe on your right, located along Quai Napoléon III.

• Public Transport

  From the Annecy town center (Place de l'Hotel de Ville), you can take bus line 2 or 6 in the direction of 'Cran-Gevrier' or 'Pringy' respectively. Get off at the 'Jardins de l'Europe' stop. After exiting the bus, walk along Quai Napoléon III, and you will find the gardens right in front of you. It's a short and pleasant walk!

• Bicycle

  If you have rented a bicycle, you can easily reach Jardins de l'Europe by cycling along the scenic bike paths in Annecy. Start at the town center (Place de l'Hotel de Ville) and head toward the lake. Follow the signs for the cycle path along the lakefront. Continue along the path until you reach Quai Napoléon III. The gardens will be on your left, just a short ride away from the lake.
