ラ・トゥール・ド・ペイルズのおすすめツーリングルート

モン・ペルラン周辺の坂道を制覇したら、レストラン「ル・モンタニャール」は休憩に最適な場所です。ここでは、ブドウ畑を離れて、居心地の良いアルペンの雰囲気を楽しめます。 このレストランは、ボリュームたっぷりで本格的な料理で知られています。チーズフォンデュやクロウト・オ・フロマージュなどの郷土料理をぜひ試してみてください。残りの道のりのためのエネルギーを補給するには、これ以上のものはありません。テラスからは、湖畔の喧騒から離れた素晴らしい静けさも楽しめます。

You can cycle from Villeneuve, via Montreux, to the port of Clarens along the paved promenade (along the water's edge). Please respect pedestrians! A beautiful ride in both directions.

Around the middle of the 19th century, there was even talk of writing off Chillon Castle for demolition and using the stones in the construction of the railway. However, the landscape, the grand castle, and the romantic stories of the former prisoners had long captivated many, and interest in the monument's outstanding historical significance was also awakening. And so, more and more travelers visited the castle, which, from the 1820s onward, could also be viewed from the new steamships on Lake Geneva. While Rousseau had already chosen the castle as the setting for a key scene in his 1761 epistolary novel Julie ou la Nouvelle Héloïse, other writers, such as Victor Hugo and Alexandre Dumas, were inspired by the place, in addition to Lord Byron. The café next to the castle is now called "Byron." The French painter Gustave Courbet depicted Chillon several times during his stay on Lake Geneva, and Eugène Delacroix, who was influenced by Lord Byron's poems, as well as other artists, also painted views of the moated castle, the image of which became widely known through photography in the age of early tourism.

Great, the first view of the lake....
