Our guides will tell you all about the history of the village, its castle, its church with its shimmering steeple, its harbours... stroll through the narrow streets and let yourself be charmed by the old stones and pretty flower-decked houses of one of the most beautiful villages in France!

Description

Immerse yourself in history with a visit to Yvoire, a medieval gem nestled in the heart of centuries-old ramparts. Yvoire, one of France's most beautiful villages, celebrated the 700th anniversary of its foundation in 2006.

Discover the treasures preserved since the 14th century: majestic gates, imposing ramparts and an emblematic château. Once a fishing village on the shores of Lake Geneva, Yvoire is now a tourist mecca, acclaimed both nationally and in Europe for its remarkable floral displays.

The Savoie Mont Blanc Heritage Guides invite you to explore this historic site, where every stone and every flower tells a story. Don't miss this escapade through time and into the beauty of one of France's most charming villages.

Do you have a Léman France or Visites en Chablais pass?
Visit one of the Destination Léman tourist information offices (Excenevex, Douvaine, Nernier, Sciez, Sciez port and Yvoire) or the Thonon Tourist Office to book your tickets.
