Don’t miss the famous Jardin des Cinq Sens. An emblematic site in Yvoire where you can discover a multitude of aromatic plants and colourful flowers.
The Jardin des Cinq Sens is divided into two distinct sections. In the first half, it offers a variety of themed areas: an alpine meadow reminiscent of the surrounding Alps, an undergrowth, a Renaissance-inspired weave and a hornbeam cloister conducive to contemplation and meditation.
The lower part forms four small gardens, separated by hedges of hornbeam and trellised apple trees, each dedicated to a different sense: sight, touch, taste and smell. The fifth sense, hearing, is symbolised by the gentle murmur of water and birdsong.
For history buffs, the Château d’Yvoire is a must-see. Dating back to the 14th century, this well-preserved castle will immerse you in the region’s medieval history.
Château d’Yvoire is a symbol of medieval architecture. Owned by the d’Yvoire family since the 17th century, it is not open to visitors. This contributes to the mystery of the medieval village of Yvoire…
