Cottage Bise in Talloires: A Lakeside Event Not to Miss – Les Voiles du Lac
Les Voiles du Lac in Talloires
In spring, the shores of
Talloires host a must-see event for lovers of Lake Annecy:
Les Voiles du Lac, organized by the association Les Vieux
Safrans d’Annecy. A true ballet of traditional wooden sailboats can be admired from some of the most scenic viewpoints — including the terrace of
Les Terrasses du Cottage.
⛵ A Unique Gathering of Vintage Sailboats
From
May 8 to 11, 2025, a fleet of classic wooden boats will sail in flotilla across Lake Annecy, stopping in several iconic ports: Saint-Jorioz, Menthon-Saint-Bernard, Doussard… and of course,
Talloires, which serves as both the starting and ending point of this beautiful nautical adventure.
Lovingly restored by the members of Les Vieux Safrans, these boats offer a rare and elegant spectacle in one of the most stunning natural settings in the Alps.
🍽 Where to Admire the Sails While Dining? On the Terrace of Cottage Bise
Among the best places to take in this nautical ballet, the restaurant at Cottage Bise stands out with its breathtaking view over the port of Talloires. From the comfort of the terrace, you can watch the boats depart or return while enjoying refined cuisine that highlights seasonal ingredients and local flavors.
