The Auberge du Père Bise in Talloires-Montmin can host working meetings and small seminars for up to 20 people in a dedicated 50 m² meeting room. The hotel's 22 bedrooms and suites, its restaurants, its bar and its spa are available for the same stay. The house stands on the east shore of Lake Annecy, 30 minutes from Annecy, one hour from Geneva and 1 h 30 from Lyon.
Seminars and company events
The meeting room measures 50 m² and seats up to 20 people. The venue describes it as fully equipped and modular, filled with natural light and open to the calm of the lake. Coffee breaks are prepared on site and can be taken in the room or by the water. A single contact person follows each project from the first request to the day itself. The team began taking work sessions, team reunions and more personal gatherings in spring 2026.
Because the room is small, the format suits board meetings, leadership retreats, strategy days and client meetings. Organisers planning a convention or a plenary session for more than 20 people will need another venue.
Rooms and capacities
The venue lists one meeting room: 50 m², up to 20 people, with natural light. No other event room is stated on the official site, so the hotel is best seen as a quiet retreat for a small group rather than a space for large receptions.
Accommodation
The five-star hotel has 22 bedrooms and suites, spread between the main building and the garden house. They face the lake, the bay of Talloires, the Roc de Chère or the Entrevernes mountain. The hotel has been a Relais & Châteaux member since 1973. A spa with a panoramic pool offers treatments on request, which gives a group a break between work sessions.
Catering
Chef Jean Sulpice runs the kitchen. The gastronomic restaurant holds two stars and serves menus of six or eight courses, with large windows and a terrace over the lake. Le 1903, under a glass roof facing the Roc de Chère, offers a more traditional Savoyard table. The Marius Bar is a small, quiet room for the evening. The site does not say whether seminar lunches are served in a private room, so organisers should ask when they request a quote.
History and setting
The Auberge was created in 1903, and its second restaurant takes its name from that year. Magali and Jean Sulpice run the house today. Talloires sits at the foot of the Alps between the Bauges massif and the Chamonix valley, on a bay often visited from Annecy.
Getting there
The address is 303 route du Port, Talloires-Montmin. By road, Annecy is 30 minutes away, Geneva one hour and Lyon 1 h 30. The inn can also be reached by private boat from Lake Annecy, which suits a group that wants to arrive by water.
