More than 50,000 documents (books, magazines, BD, CD, DVD, partitions) are lent or can be consulted on site. For science and technology farus, a space is dedicated to it with almost 7,000 documents. But the media also offers other services: home loan, handy document boxes, lockers and Internet access to subscribers.

Pride. Not all French cities have an academy. But why Annecy and what is this Florimontane Academy? This true academy, which is part of the National Conference of Academies, is the worthy heir to the first French language academy created in 1607 by two Savoyards: François de Sales and Antoine Favre. This first academy flourished for only three seasons, but it produced beautiful fruits that came back to nourish the spirits in the 19th century. Today, this academy publishes the Revue savoisienne annually, manages the castle of Montrottier and a library, open on Thursday mornings, of 12,500 books on Savoy.

Annecy is a naturally welcoming city, but it's a pleasure to be welcomed by this association - active for over 50 years - dedicated to new arrivals. A warm welcome and many activities: visits and excursions in the region, workshops, meals, evenings... Good times to share with locals and long-established residents alike. The hostesses' offices are on the 1st floor of the Maison Vuilloud (covered Château parking lot nearby). Your first contact in Annecy.
