Hi, Thanks for the info, I must admit from the info and pics I've seen Annecy does look gorgeous! Lucky you moving there! When you say expensive, is it more than say the riviera? (I'm possibly considering a course down there) Or do you just mean more expensive compared to other towns in the area? Both courses look pretty good, and they are similar prices too, just to make it more confusing! Do you know how good things like public transport are? I'm not planning on buying a car unless I can help it, but if it's the sort of place where you can't survive without one then that could be a problem..!: Thank you again! Sam
