Yvoire delimits the two main parts of the Lake Geneva, the “petit lac” and the “grand lac” from the French side of the lake. It is well known for its medieval buildings and beautiful flower decoration during the summer season. It is also one of the most beautiful villages of France.
The largest and most impressive building in Yvoire is the chateau. This typical Savoy castle is right on the bank of Lake Geneva and on a demanding position at the entrance of the yacht harbors of Yvoire. The castle is in private hands and not open to the public.
