A lively spa town on the eastern shore of Lac du Bourget, France's largest natural lake. Fabulous mountain views from the tree-lined promenade and chic marinas. The town centre boasts thermal baths, open air tea dancing and an opulent Casino - step inside just to see the Art Deco ceilings. For sports enthusiasts, there's a golf course, race course and sailing school.

Take a circular tour of the lake past historic Hautecombe Abbey or play 'spot the beaver' on a dinner cruise along the winding Canal de Savires which leads to the Haut-Rhône canal. Magic!
