Yvoire
Castle of Yvoire

Yvoire developed on a promontory that slopes into Lake Geneva, a strategic position from a commercial and military point of view. A fortress was therefore built at the beginning of the 13th century to control lake transport, which was very important in the Middle Ages. The castle cannot be visited, but its vegetable garden has become a botanical garden open to tourists.
