An AI that only knows Annecy — and that's exactly the point

Our AI concierge knows a single lake: the geography of its shores, its seasons, verified addresses. Your trip hour by hour, for free.

Ask a generalist AI for three days in Annecy and it will answer with the confidence of something that knows the whole world — approximately. Names that sound right, plausible opening hours, and every so often a restaurant that closed, or never existed.

Our planner makes the opposite bet: an AI that only knows one lake, but knows it properly.

What “Annecy-specialised” actually means

It knows the geography. Telling it where you sleep changes the whole itinerary: Annecy old town means everything on foot and the market two streets away; the east shore means quiet beaches and narrow summer roads; the west shore means evening sun on the water; the end of the lake means nature first and a car that often helps. A generalist tool would hand you the same day in all four cases. Not this one.

It knows the seasons. No lake swim in December, no snowbound ridge in April. Based on your dates, every day arrives with an indoor plan B for grey skies and the time slot that beats the crowds. That is the difference between a programme copied from a summer blog and a trip written for the week you’re actually coming.

It invents no address. Before writing a single line, the tool runs real web searches, then composes only from what it actually found. The rule is enforced by the program, not promised by the model: a stop whose source matches nothing loses its link, and an itinerary that drifts too far is regenerated. Each place keeps its visible source link, so you can check before you go.

What you get, for free

  • Every day, hour by hour — from morning coffee to dinner, in an order that makes sense.
  • The travel time between stops — on foot or by car, so you’re never rushing.
  • The reason behind each choice — not a list, an explained sequence.
  • A weather plan B and a crowd tip — for every single day.
  • The PDF version — your trip offline, in your pocket.
  • A link by email — to find your trip again, no account, no password.

Free, no card, no account: we only ask for your email, to send it to you.

What it saves you

The hour spent cross-checking blogs whose opening hours expired two summers ago. The drive to a restaurant that closes on Tuesdays. The August day spent queueing because nobody told you to arrive at opening time. A trip to Annecy is won or lost on these details — and they are precisely what this tool knows.

How it works

Four questions, and you see your first day straight away: the timings, the pace, the addresses. If you like it, leave your email: the full trip shows up on screen and lands in your inbox.

And if you’d rather understand the method before trying it, we’ve written up how the tool guarantees no place is invented — and why four questions are enough.

Frequently asked questions

Why use it when ChatGPT exists?
A generalist AI writes what looks like a good answer — including restaurants that closed years ago or never existed. Here, every stop must come from a source actually found online, and the program does the checking, not the model. An unverifiable address is removed rather than shown.
Is it really free?
Yes. The full itinerary for every day of your trip, hour by hour — the travel time between stops, the reason behind each choice, a rainy-day plan B, the PDF version — is on us. We only ask for your email to send it to you: no card, no account.
What if the result doesn't suit me?
You adjust the itinerary through the chat thread — less cycling, a birthday dinner, a rain plan — and the affected days are rewritten. Or you start again with different answers: that's free too.
What happens to my email and my answers?
Your email is used to send you the itinerary and, the day before you leave, the forecast and the events on your dates. It is kept for 120 days with the shape of your trip (length, season, type of trip), then deleted. If you ask for Annecy's tips and confirm by email, you get 2 emails a month at most.
