This small B&B plus apartment is in the village of La Roche Sur Foron, which is about 15 miles from Annecy.
Best thing is Marie Ammeloot, the owner, who has to be one of the nicest people we have ever stayed with. The sand pit in the garden for small children helped too.
La Roche is nice small town with an excellent swimming pool and mountain views

Updates
2006 prices for appartments are 300 Euro in school holidays and 265 Euro at other times. Note that the May half-term in the UK is the week before French half-term, so a good value week (but does mean some things to do are closed e.g. the local castle).
