What is Lake Annecy Ecomuseum
The Lake Annecy Ecomuseum is one of the pivot museums of Lake Annecy: located at Sevrier (74320), on the western shore famous for its Paccard bell foundry, it has offered for several decades an immersive encounter with 19th-century Savoyards. The route explores daily life, crafts, traditions and landscapes of the Annecy basin at a pivotal time — just before the rise of thermal tourism and industrialisation.
The museum has heavily modernised its offer in recent years with a strong family focus: playful age-graded trails (2–3, 3–6 years), puzzle-games (6–10, 10+), and even an open-air riddle circuit available at the ticket office. The idea: let visitors live Savoyard daily sensations — handle, observe, guess — rather than simply look.
Adult €7, child €5, family pass €22. Open year-round (closed Tuesday and certain holidays). Parking and refreshment area on site.
