With some terrific road trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to soak up everything that Plage du Rowing, 45 miles away, has to offer. Soak up the sights starting with Grand Cercle Casino, Faure Museum and Le Grand Port. Locals will also probably point you in the direction of Plage de Challière, 40 miles away. If you only have time for one attraction here, let it be Abbaye d’Hautecombe. (But we’re also huge fans of Lake Bourget and Grand Cercle Casino.)
