With its majestic silhouette, the castle of Yvoire stands like a sentinel on Lake Geneva. It delights photographers who visit Yvoire, the beautiful medieval city of Haute-Savoie. Built from 1306 during the fortification of the village by the Count of Savoy Amédée V, the castle of Yvoire had the military objective of monitoring navigation and controlling the road which linked Geneva to the upper Rhone valley and to Italy.

Free access

Nice place out of time. Many shops, restaurants and bars.

Small beach at the bottom of the large parking lot. Take a small path towards the middle car park to go down to the beach.

Very beautiful medieval staircase

The Nernier gate formerly controlled access to the village with the Rovorée gate. They were closed in the evening and lined with a portcullis, the passage of which can still be seen in the stones. To ensure the defense of the village, the entrance was topped by a tower, which is still well preserved today. The tower, measuring 5 m by 6 m, was equipped with loopholes and hoardings and a bridge made it possible to cross the moat.

La Chataignerie is a beautiful, rather quiet, natural park with meadows, forest and lake shore. Very pretty and relaxing and within easy walking distance of Yvoire.

The grottos are on the edge of a ring walk of an old castle. The walk along the water is actually the highlight.
