With some awesome day trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to experience all that Plage de Ripaille, 60 miles away, has to offer. Chateau de Marclaz, Fontaine de la Versoie and Chablais Museum alone justify the drive. Locals are also likely to point you in the direction of Plage d’aiguebelette-le-lac, 55 miles away. If you can only find time for one attraction here, let it be Chateau de Chambery. (But we’d also recommend Carre Curial and Elephants Fountain.)
