Alpine-lake town in Haute-Savoie at the northern end of Lake Annecy, 40 minutes south of Geneva — anchored by the lake (one of the cleanest in Europe), the canal-laced medieval old town, and immediate access to the Aravis and Bauges mountain ranges. The Vieille Ville (with the Palais de l'Île at the canal junction) is the dense walkable core. France has no formal DNV; long séjour temporaire visiteur or Talent Passport. Schengen. The structural draws are Alpine-lake geography, year-round outdoor access (paragliding, sailing, skiing 30-60min away), and tier-1 walkability. Tourist density is real summer-and-winter.

Editorial estimates. Not financial advice. The 4% rule is a planning anchor, not a guarantee — sequence-of-returns risk and tax-jurisdiction friction (US-LLC / FEIE / state residency) can move the real number meaningfully. See our expat tax directory for the cross-border side of the math.
