Aubonne Castle is a medieval fortress located in the commune of Aubonne, in the canton of Vaud, Switzerland. Built before 1197, it has undergone numerous transformations over the centuries. Perched on a hill, it overlooks the town and the Aubonne ravine, offering a beautiful panorama of the surrounding area and Lake Geneva. In addition to the castle, the town of Aubonne boasts a rich architectural heritage with its picturesque alleyways, terraced houses, and its Protestant church built in 1577 from the former Catholic church of Trévelin. Nearby, the Arboretum du Vallon de l'Aubonne houses a collection of over 3,000 species of trees and shrubs from around the world, while the Parc du Signal de Bougy offers leisure activities for the whole family.

Old fortification, interesting to explore

Easy to access. There is a noticeboard nearby which had a list of events coming up.

Yvoire is one of the Most Beautiful Villages in France. Its medieval heritage, its label as a flowery town, and its privileged position on the banks of Lake Geneva have something to do with it. Take the time to stroll through its historic center and get lost on the trails of the many natural spaces of this town in the Thonon-les-Bains agglomeration.

Rolle Castle was built in the 13th century and stands directly on the lakeshore. The fortress is not open to the public, but the castle with its unusual design can also be explored from the outside.

This small town is located directly on Lake Geneva. I recommend taking a break here.

Amazing place. Medieval village, be careful in summer there are a lot of people.

From 1306, Count Amédéé V the Great used Yvoire's strategic position as a sentry post between the large and small lakes to build powerful fortifications. For half a century, the city played an important military role, even earning its residents exemption from toll payments in 1324. Later, between 1536 and 1591, when the whole region of Bern was occupied, the city lost its military status and the city wall ring was dismantled. The castle was also burned down and remained without a roof for 350 years. For a long time, the village remained meaningless and the militarily important complex turned into a simple farming and fishing village. Due to the emerging tourism, a new development only started in 1950. In 1959 the village received the national flower award for the first time (Wikipedia).
