Annecy day trip from Lyon, with your private chauffeur.

Annecy is not directly connected to Lyon by fast train, and parking near the old town and the lake is scarce in high season. With a private chauffeur, you arrive right in the centre, spend your time exploring rather than driving, and can easily add the villages around the lake to your day.

• No train changes, no parking to find
• Drop-off in the heart of the old town
• Villages around the lake added easily
• Return whenever you choose

A typical day

Your chauffeur picks you up in Lyon in the morning and drives you to Annecy by motorway, past Lake Bourget. You spend the late morning in the old town, then enjoy lunch by the water. In the afternoon, your chauffeur can take you along the eastern shore to Talloires and Menthon-Saint-Bernard, or up to a viewpoint, before driving you back to Lyon at the time you choose.

Geneva is about 45 minutes from Annecy. If you would like to see both, we can plan a longer day: Annecy in the morning and Geneva in the afternoon, or the other way round. Remember your ID card or passport for the border.

A sedan welcomes up to 4 guests and a Mercedes V-Class up to 7 or 8, with room for pushchairs. Child seats are available on request. For larger groups, we coordinate several vehicles travelling together.

• Summer weekends are the busiest: start early
• Bring a jacket, the weather changes quickly in the mountains
• Book restaurants by the lake in advance in high season
• Tell us about any mobility needs when you book

Trustline is a chauffeur service based in Lyon, founded in 2018 by two former independent chauffeurs and now part of La Conciergerie I Carré, a passenger transport group in the Lyon area. Our chauffeurs hold a professional licence, know the Alpine and Swiss roads in every season and plan each trip with a comfortable margin. Every booking is confirmed in writing, with your chauffeur’s name and number sent before departure, and a contact remains available throughout your day. On board, you will find bottled water, phone chargers and Wi-Fi, and our vehicles are recent, spotless and fully insured for passenger transport.

Whether you are visiting the region for the first time, showing it to family and friends, or organising an outing for clients or colleagues, we make sure your day runs smoothly from the first minute to the last.

Summer is ideal for swimming and boat trips, autumn for colours and calm, winter for the Christmas market and nearby ski resorts, and spring for flowers along the canals.
