La Roche-sur-Foron lies at the foot of the French Alps in the historic Haute-Savoie department of south east France. The lovingly restored medieval town centre, beautifully decked in flowers, packs 1,000 years of history into its walls and ranks it as one of the “100 prettiest detours in France”.
La Roche is a lively and dynamic market town with a population of 12,000, and its International Exhibition Centre, home of the annual International Mont-Blanc Fair, gives it important economic status in the region. |
With the beautiful Alps as a backdrop, La Roche's location close to Geneva (30 minutes by car to the airport, home of the UN and the International Red Cross), Chamonix Mont-Blanc (Europe's highest peak) and Annecy (Europe's cleanest lake) makes La Roche-sur-Foron a perfect place to live or an ideal base for a holiday.
Many people choose to extend their stay beyond the festival to visit one of Europe's most beautiful mountain and lake regions. The Tourist Office of La Roche-sur-Foron will be happy to help organise trips with information on air and rail travel, car rental, hotel, B&B or camping, as well as planning local excursions and mountain walks.
Book early! Accommodation becomes hard to find around festival weekend.
