Antique hunting tips for Annecy

A few things worth knowing before you work through Annecy's antique stores:

• Buy the best you can afford at Antiquités Brocante. One excellent piece beats five mediocre ones. Quality holds value; quantity just holds dust.
• Learn wood identification at Antiquités Royale. Mahogany versus stained pine is a value chasm. A basic grasp of woods saves expensive mistakes.
• Check the smalls. The glass cases of small items — buttons, tools, oddments — reward the patient browser disproportionately.
• Bring measurements. That sideboard is useless if it won't fit through your door. Measure the room and the car before you fall in love.

Good to know

We searched about 40 km around Annecy — that covers the town itself plus the surrounding communities you'd reasonably drive to. Listings come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by local volunteers, so a brand-new antique store in Annecy can take a while to appear. If you spot one of the 3 that's closed, or a great antique store we missed, the fix is to update the map itself — that's where this guide reads from.

We don't list prices or authenticate pieces — that's the dealer's job in person. What we list is the where: real shops, verified by real mappers.

If you run one of the 3 listed here and something's wrong — a closure, a move, new hours — the fix is the same: update the shop on OpenStreetMap and the correction flows through to this page on the next daily refresh.
