Travelling to and from Annecy is made decidedly simple thanks to its excellent transport links, which include two surrounding International airports in Geneva and Chambery, in addition to its own regional airport, out of which Air France operate several flights to Paris a day. If you're arriving by rail, Annecy is served by both regional and TGV trains, the latter linking it to Lyon and Paris. We also run a special shuttle service to Annecy from Geneva airport.
