The Camper’s take
Updated June 2026
Free overnight parking (18:00-09:00) in central Annecy, directly beside the lake and old town. Excellent access to waterfront promenade and swimming areas. Daytime parking charged Monday-Friday. Space limitations (2.10 m height restriction in main area). Some unrestricted spots available. Public toilets nearby. Safe location but expect urban noise at night due to traffic and city activity.
Highlights
- Exceptional location: city center and lake within easy reach
- Free at night (6:30 PM–9 AM); budget-friendly for short stays
- Secure (police presence)
- Several spots available even in peak season
Good to know
- Height limit of 2.10 m is restrictive (some areas have no limit)
- Very noisy at night (traffic, constant lighting)
- Spots are small with limited maneuvering space
- No water or electricity
Motorhome access : Main parking access limited to 2.10m height; an alternative parking across the street (police side) has no restrictions. Spots are narrow, maneuvering tricky during the day. Long vehicles (7m+) possible but tight.
