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.

The Pont du Fossé multimedia library is a cultural space covering 185^m2 and offers its users complete services in terms of reading and multimedia. Within its walls, a large choice of adult and youth collections available for consultation on the spot or for borrowing. The first readers, the readers of a day and the bibliovores will travel according to the books, albums, games, magazines and DVD. Connected to today's world, it offers computer stations connected to the Internet, tablets and video games. Animations all year long.
