Écomusée du Lac d'Annecy

About

The Écomusée du Lac d’Annecy offers a captivating journey into the traditions and daily life of the communities that have long lived around the lake. Housed in a former farmhouse in Sevrier, just outside Annecy, the museum preserves the memory of rural Savoy through authentic objects, tools, and reconstructions of domestic interiors. Visitors discover how fishing, agriculture, and crafts shaped the region’s identity, while exhibitions highlight the close relationship between people and the natural environment of Lake Annecy. Seasonal displays and cultural events bring these stories to life, making the museum not only a place of preservation but also of living heritage. With its intimate scale and authentic atmosphere, the Écomusée provides a meaningful glimpse into the past, helping visitors understand the roots of local culture while enjoying the beauty of the surrounding lakeside landscape.
