Annecy is no exception to the trend: the so-called responsible consumption
and collaborative services are booming. Three new places in the city are part
of this trend by proposing a new concept or innovative services.
La Brasserie Brunet replaces
ContreSens: OPEN 7D/7
After 13 years of operation, the ContreSens Restaurant, on Rue de la Poste in Annecy, is
closing its doors. The sequel is in the hands of Martine and Laurent Petit (Le Clos des
Sens) with Mathieu Fortin (Café Brunet) and Nicolas Guignard (Chef at the Café Brunet).
The idea is to offer a brasserie in Annecy to echo the Café Brunet in Annecy-le-Vieux.

Lake Annecy brings together and attracts all the gourmet talents: star chefs, pastry chefs,
FOR 2018 chocolate-makers ... but also cheese makers! This profession has 22 Best Workers of France at
the national level, two of whom were born in Annecy: Pierre Gay and Jacques Dubouloz. Alain
Michel and his Crémerie du Lac complete this trio of craftsmen with their unique know-how.
In a region famous for its cheeses, they share their passion and show you the art of refining.
Highlighting these chefs and the excellence of their know-how led to raising the
level of rigour of an entire profession. A well-developed chain in Upper-Savoy:
producers with recognised know-how, professionals committed to a certain ethic Jacques and Marc Dubouloz
and respect for products. A virtuous circle for a "must-see" gourmet crossroads. PERPETUATE THEIR LOVE FOR CHEESE IN THE FAMILY
At the Dubouloz home, refining is a family affair. In the 1970s, Jacques joined his
parents, Jean and André, in the family business they created in 1950. Today he
transmits to his son, with him for 8 years, all his know-how and especially his
passion, rewarded in 2004 with the title of Best Worker in France. Jacques Dubouloz
greets his customers in his shop in Poisy and he is the only cheesemaker to
criss-cross the markets of Annecy. He offers local cheeses and cheeses from all the
regions of France which he refines in his cellars and which he takes care of every
day. Refining is a meticulous art perfectly mastered by the Dubouloz family.

ON THE GLIÈRES PLATEAU
The plateau is the place where the sky is blackest in Upper Savoy, which made it an
ideal place during the Resistance and allowed paratroopers to land discreetly.
Today, an Astronomy Association offers to show you how to observe the sky, the
sun and to attend training and free sessions to learn how to use a sky chart and to
recognize the constellations. The reading of the sky is associated with the history of
the plateau.
