Annecy detective for employers, from Glaisins to the Arve valley

A sick leave that is not genuine, a salesperson leaving for a competitor with their clients, parts disappearing from a workshop: before any sanction, the employer must be able to provide proof. Your private detectives can intervene for a company in the Glaisins park, a bar-turning workshop in the Arve valley, or a business in the town centre.

Searching for people and assets at Annecy

A home address, an announced departure to Switzerland, a move to a nearby municipality: finding someone asks to cross several legitimate sources. Your private investigation agency in Annecy first controls the reason for your request, then confirms the information on the ground.

Person lost from sight or heir

Childhood friend, distant relative, heir to be identified: the investigation is limited to what is permitted by the stated purpose and respects the privacy of the person located.

Missing debtor

Solvency before taking action

Before assigning a debtor or accepting a guarantor, it is better to know if he will be able to pay. Your detectives examine legally accessible economic and property data.

Checking a partner

Swiss supplier, owner of a business, prospective partner: your agency monitors the reality of the activity, the identity of the managers and warning signals before you sign.

Stages of Mission

    You describe the situation and what you are trying to prove. Your agency verifies that the request is legitimate and achievable.

Investigative arrangements

On foot, by car or by bike: methods suited to the terrain

Your detectives always choose the most discreet and least intrusive measures in consideration of what needs to be established.

Mobile and fixed surveillance

Foot surveillance in the old town, vehicles on main roads, two-wheelers when the person is cycling: the operation follows known habits.

Photographs & videos

Your detectives take images only on the public road or in places open to the public, respecting the privacy of people. Only useful views enter the report.

discreet surveillance can continue in Savoie, Ain or elsewhere in France with the relay of other Investipole agencies.

Surveillance in Annecy: lake, old town, A41 and border

In Annecy, geography sets the rules. The lake to the south, Semnoz and Mount Veyrier on both sides, the old town in the center: traffic is concentrated on a few axes. For a private investigator in Annecy, the difficulty lies less in the distance than in the lack of alternative routes.

In the old town, the streets Sainte-Claire, Carnot, Jean-Jacques-Rousseau and Royale are pedestrianised. Your detectives follow on foot among the passers-by, with a vehicle stationed on the outskirts of the area, either on the Bonlieu side or the station side.

Around the lake, two roads run along the shores: the D1508 to the west, through Sévrier, Saint-Jorioz and Duingt, and the D909 to the east, towards Veyrier-du-Lac, Menthon-Saint-Bernard and Talloires. The west shore greenway also attracts cyclists and rollerbladers. Your detectives anticipate every possible stop on these routes with no escape.

At the station, the transport hub brings together TGV trains to Paris, TER, Léman Express to Annemasse and Geneva, intercity coaches and Sibra buses. A person being followed can change mode of transport within minutes: your detectives cover the platforms and the bus station before their arrival.

On the road, the A41 serves the urban area via three exits: Seynod-Sud, Annecy-Centre and Annecy-Nord. To the north, the toll motorway leads to the Swiss border at the Bardonnex customs; to the south, it heads towards Aix-les-Bains and Chambéry. The D1201, via Cruseilles, remains the free route to Saint-Julien-en-Genevois.

At the border, surveillance changes framework: on Swiss soil, Swiss law applies. Your agency agrees with you, before departure, on the procedure to follow if the person being followed crosses the border.

To the north-east, the A410 opens the route to Annemasse, La Roche-sur-Foron and the Arve valley. Your detectives identify in advance the pick-up points: toll barriers, car park exits in the centre, city entry roundabouts. The budget is thus focused on the useful moments.

A word from the Manager

"Diriger Investipole in Annecy for almost 20 years has been doing this job with an unbroken passion and constant demand. The agglomeration requires a real reading of the terrain: discreet surveillance can start in the old town, continue towards the shores of the lake, tip over the accesses of the Glaisins or borrow the A41. In each case, our role remains the same: to verify the facts accurately, preserve the confidentiality of the client and provide a useful report to the lawyer as well as to the competent courts."

David LIOBARD, Managing Director

Annecy FAQ

Private detective in Annecy: the essentials

Cost, legality, border, courts: what you need to know before signing a written agreement.

How much does a private detective in Annecy cost?

The pricing of a private detective in Annecy ranges from €90 to €120 excluding VAT per hour depending on several criteria, with a free quote. Four factors affect the budget: the duration, the hours, the number of detectives and the kilometres travelled. The amount is set in writing before commencement.

Is it legal to track your spouse in Annecy?

Yes, provided you pursue a legitimate purpose, such as preparing for a divorce, and respect the privacy of the observed person. Your detectives observe from the public highway, never inside a dwelling. The judge then checks that the findings remain proportionate.

How does surveillance around the Annecy lake work?

Discreet surveillance around the lake is being prepared by road, as the D1508 and the D909 offer few alternative routes. Your detectives are divided between the two shores, the old town and the exits of the A41, with pick-up points fixed in advance.

Do you operate across the whole of Greater Annecy?

Yes, the whole new town of Annecy is covered, Seynod, Cran-Gevrier, Meythet, Pringy and Annecy-le-Vieux included, as well as the rest of the Grand Annecy. The missions extend to Annemasse, Thonon-les-Bains, Cluses and Saint-Genis-Pouilly.

Can surveillance starting in Annecy continue to Geneva?

On the French side, yes: surveillance can continue up to the border, in the Geneva High Savoyard or in the Country of Gex. Swiss law applies on Swiss territory; your agency defines with you, before the mission, the conduct to be taken at the crossing of customs.

Can a Annecy company have an employee monitored?

Yes, but only in the face of serious suspicions and for a legitimate reason: unfair competition, theft, hidden work. Supervision must be indispensable and proportionate; if not, the judge can rule out the evidence. Your detectives therefore limit the mission to the necessary facts.

How can I get in touch with your Annecy agency?

By phone on 04 72 53 48 54, by e-mail at contact@investipole.fr or via the Contact page form. The exchange remains confidential, nothing is charged to you before signing the written agreement, and your agency usually answers you in less than 24 hours.
