Yvoire's Medieval Charms

Perched on the southern shore of Lake Geneva, Yvoire is a fortified medieval village dating back to the early 14th century. Its strategic location led to the construction of defensive ramparts, two massive stone gates, and a prominent fortress built by Amadeus V of Savoy. Key features include the Jardin des Cinq Sens, a sensory labyrinth on the site of the former castle kitchen garden, and the church of Saint-Pancrace with its distinctive stainless steel-covered onion dome.
