A romantic walk in Yvoire

Yvoire is a pretty medieval village on the shores of Lake Geneva

Yvoire is a charming and very touristic village on the edge of the lake of Geneva, we walk in pretty small lanes, we admire the superb view on the castle and on the lake of Geneva. At the end of 30 minutes the visit is finished, it does not remain any more but to go to restore itself in one of the very numerous restaurants of the city. You can then order a good bottle of wine and enjoy the mildness of a summer evening on the shores of Lake Geneva (it is better for two people).

You can also consider a romantic cruise on the Lake Geneva from the port of Yvoire.
