Yvoire Chateau

Yvoire Chateau is one of the most beautiful fortresses in France. Built in the 14th century, it is situated in the stunning town of Yvoire on the southern shore of Lake Geneva. The castle rises up from a stunning flower and plant filled park and the lake provides yet another spectacular sight for visitors and photographers. There are a number of medieval buildings and streets nearby worth exploring, including the Church of Saint-Pancras, a magnificent 14th century structure. To really make the most of a visit here, it is worth taking a boat tour to enjoy the beauty of the lake and its surroundings. The biggest event of the year takes place in mid-July when the town holds its multicolor flower festival. The setting is truly magical and there are plenty of activities to enjoy.
