Abbaye de Talloires, Benedictine abbey in Talloires-Montmin, France

The Abbaye de Talloires is a former Benedictine priory on the right bank of Lake Annecy in Talloires-Montmin, Haute-Savoie. Its original design drew on seigneurial buildings, with a great hall (aula) and fortified elements. Two outbuildings survive: a late 13th-century hospice in the village and a leprosery, probably older than the 13th century, about 2 km along the lakeside road toward Angon. Since the late 19th century the site has operated as a four-star hotel-restaurant.

Rodolphe III of Burgundy gave the Talloires estate and its church to the monks of Savigny in 1018, at the urging of his wife Ermengarde; four monks settled on the shore of Lake Annecy. Pope Clement X raised the priory to a royal abbey in 1674, and buildings including a hospital were added in 1681. French revolutionary troops burned the abbey and its archives in 1792, and it was demolished in 1833.

The abbey church served as the parish church until Saint-Maurice was built in the village at the end of the 18th century. In 1902 the physicist Gabriel Lippmann made his first colour photograph inside the cloister. Since the late 19th century the buildings have housed a four-star hotel-restaurant whose guests have included Paul Cézanne, Mark Twain, Gabriel Fauré, Winston Churchill, Richard Nixon and Jean Reno.

The former abbey has operated as a four-star hotel-restaurant since the end of the 19th century, so the buildings are not a freely visited monument: access follows hotel and restaurant use. It stands on the right bank of Lake Annecy at Talloires-Montmin, on the lakeside road toward Angon, about 2 km from the old leprosery site.

In 1902 the physicist Gabriel Lippmann made his first colour photograph inside the cloister. During the Second World War the Germans set up their regional command in the building, which had been listed as a monument historique on 24 February 1944.
