We live in Evian-les-Bains

Hereabouts there is a very flourishing market for rental properties {at reasonable prices} because so many commuters take the boat to Lausanne. Additionally, with so many working for that very well-known multinational food company{!} apartments do not stay empty for long, generally speaking. But they have to offer a certain something, be clean, with few parking problems etc. etc.

If you need more help or information, including who are the cowboys to avoid, please send a PM.

Thanks Sheila. 

Thats really interesting to know about evian les bains. I wouldn't have thought that people take the boat across the lake each day for their commute! 

I agree all the details need to be correct for the clientele. But I'm very focussed on the mountain towns and villages to target the skiing and summer hiking or cycling crowd. If that doesn't look like a very good idea, then I may come back to you about yours. 

Thanks for that.

There’s also a lot of  commuting across the lake nearer Geneva, to and from, say, Yvoire or Chens-sur-Léman.  Can be quite choppy when the bise blows.

Thanks Ritchie. I know there are days when the cgn doesn't run because of the bise. I wonder what the people do then!? 

Interesting. 

They may have car-pooling arrangements as a back-up although I guess the Scots (should there be any) probably swim across.

Well Heather,

Our neighbours [who all commute on a daily basis] either drive around the lake, or take the replacement bus, but this of course takes a wee while longer.

Have a good w/e

I thought they would walk across Ritchie !!

Well, most of them will probably still be novices, the path to godliness being a long and arduous path (or so I’ve been told).

Can't stop determination! ;-)

Good to know there are alternative means.

Has anyone rented out there property in the haute savioe near the ski stations, that can give me advice please?

thanks.
