Popular area not very sexy in generally- you have to be careful after dark but it’s all fine if you are a minimum aware of the surroundings and alert (avoid dark and empty areas at night). Transportations are safe in general

Annemasse is fairly safe but there are certain areas I'd be worried to walk at night. And there are occasional break-in attempts here and there. But nothing too bad. I cycle at night sometimes, the town is pretty quiet, empty streets. Which makes it both calming at unsettling at the same time, but I never had any weird situation on the street.

About Me

Hey! I’m Mylène, 45 yo - a traveler addict but more than that a culture discoverer! My preferred way to travel is really to settle down and be immersed in a city, country etc. I love animals, nature, cinema, books, going out for a drink (or two 🤪) and talk! I am looking forward to meeting other ladies with the same mindset. I am happy to also guide you in the region etc.
