Yvoire, medieval pearl of Léman

On the French shore of Lake Léman, between Geneva and Évian, stands a timeless village. Yvoire, listed among The Most Beautiful Villages of France, has captivated generations with its intact medieval charm, its flowered alleys, and its exceptional location facing the Alps.

Founded at the beginning of the 14th century by Count Amédée V of Savoy, this former fortified city preserves remarkable traces of its past: ramparts, stone gates, cobbled alleys, and a majestic castle on the lakeshore, still inhabited today.

At the heart of this medieval village of Yvoire, do not miss the Garden of the Five Senses, a true botanical haven classified as a Remarkable Garden, where nature is explored with the eyes, nose, hands… and even the imagination.

Throughout your stroll, let yourself be surprised by art galleries, craft shops, workshops, and terraces that punctuate the village streets. And for a gourmet break, settle in one of the restaurants of Yvoire, facing the lake or tucked away in a flowered courtyard.

Whether you come for a romantic getaway, a family outing, or a leisurely day, Yvoire promises you a journey between nature, heritage, and the sweetness of life.
