The Impérial Palace in Annecy reopens a page in its history...
It was with great pleasure that we welcomed Mr Marc BROCARD who was the General Manager of the hotel in 1960 and until its closure in August 1967.
More than 50 years have passed and it is a totally transformed establishment that he is rediscovering...but from the first steps the emotion is more than palpable!
Despite a career full of experiences after leaving the Impérial Palace to join the Grande Bleue, taking the reins of the mythical Hôtel Negresco in Nice, the memories have remained intact... the soul of the emblematic building is still there!
What a pleasure it was to leaf through some old photos brought back in the suitcases and to go through the hotel to learn a little more about the rich past of this Belle Epoque building which has been silhouetted on the Annécian landscape for over a century.
We thank Mr Brocard for his visit and hope to have the honour of receiving him again...
