Plage d'Angon, Lake beach in Talloires-Montmin, France
Description
Plage d'Angon stretches along Lake Annecy with a gentle sloping shore and combines open grass areas with sandy zones perfect for different activities. The site offers volleyball courts, ping-pong tables, picnic spots, and an on-site restaurant for visitors.
History
The site developed as a supervised swimming area during the mid-20th century when Lake Annecy became a major regional recreational destination. This growth transformed the shoreline into an organized public beach for visitors from surrounding communities.
Culture
Families from the area come here to swim and gather on the grassy banks during warm months, making it a social hub where locals enjoy the lake together.
Practical
The water is typically warm enough for swimming from June through September, with most visitors arriving on weekends and sunny days. Bring towels and sun protection since shaded areas are limited.
Did you know?
A mountain stream flows across the beach before meeting the lake, creating small natural pools where children often play during summer. This flowing water provides a refreshing contrast to the lake itself.
