What type of car is recommended for driving in Annecy?
For car hire in Annecy, it would be recommended to select some of the smaller car options, as the small alpine town is known to have tight roadways in the city. There are also many alleyway roads, and the parking is limited, especially in the busier months of summer. In winter, perhaps a car with a bit more power and outfitted with the appropriate tyres would be recommended, as it can snow quite heavily in Annecy at times. Furthermore, Parc Animalier de la Grande Jeanne is quite a steep drive, and parking up on the famous hill is also very limited.
What’s the speed limit in Annecy?
When hiring a car in Annecy, it is important to note as a tourist that the town is quiet and well reserved as a population. Things move slower in the town of Annecy and so should you. The speed limit set throughout the town's built-up and residential areas is 50 km/h during the day and 25 km/h at night. This is strictly enforced, especially during the summer when the streets are busier and more vibrant. In the snowy winters, it's advised to read the weather forecast and maintain the lower speeds stipulated on the road signs.
Where are the best places to park in Annecy?
When in Annecy and hiring a car, it is important to note that most parking in and around the town needs to be paid for; this will be indicated on the street signs around the parking spaces. Paid parking will, on most occasions, set you back around € 1.10 (about A$ 1.60) per hour during the day. There are, however, roughly nine free parking areas around the town, but be sure to arrive early, as these parking areas usually fill up quite quickly in the morning.
