HEADING INTO THE WIND
HEADING INTO THE WIND
In Annecy, there’s a sound you’d recognize anywhere.
The lapping of the water against the hull of a boat.
The wind rushing into a sail.
And that brief silence before departure.
In a matter of seconds, the boat pulls away from the dock. The mountains take on a whole new dimension. The lake becomes a playground, a place of learning, a place of freedom.
Because sailing isn't just a sport.
It means learning to go with the wind rather than resisting it.
To take your time. To find your direction.
Every summer, hundreds of children, teenagers, and adults experience these thrills at the Annecy Sailing School. Some are stepping onto a sailboat for the first time. Others return year after year, with the same smile on their faces when the sails fill with wind.
At Les Nouvelles Galeries, the lake is part of our daily lives.
It’s just a few steps away. You can stop by after a coffee, a shopping trip, or an ice cream. It sets the pace for summer days and makes Annecy a city like no other.
So it seemed natural to us to strengthen that bond.
We are proud to partner with the Annecy Sailing School by supporting its sail replacement project.
A concrete way to support those who bring the lake to life, share their passion, and enable new generations to set sail.
Because here, the most wonderful adventures often begin just a few meters from Les Nouvelles Galeries.
And sometimes, all it takes is hoisting a sail.
