Here’s an overview of your tour
Embark on a scenic boat ride across the serene waters of Lake Geneva, crossing the border from Switzerland into France to discover one of the country's most picturesque villages.
Our destination is Yvoire, a stunning medieval gem that has been recognized and rewarded multiple times for its beauty.
Classified among the "Most Beautiful Villages in France," Yvoire captivates visitors with its flower-filled streets, charming stone houses, and rich history. As we stroll through its narrow alleys that wind down to the shores of Lake Geneva, you’ll be transported back in time to the heart of Savoie’s past. Yvoire’s old stone buildings and vibrant blooms make it a true feast for the eyes, inviting you to explore its centuries-old heritage.
