A fishing village on the shores of Lake Geneva from the Middle Ages (around 14C). It is surrounded by Roman walls. Although it is a small village with a population of about 450 people, 600,000 tourists visit the beautiful cityscape every year.
There is a four-flower sign at the entrance of the village. This shows that this village has the highest rating for the flower cityscape.

| Medieval old castle |
Flowers covering the building |
The old medieval castle in the center of the village has a vast labyrinth-like garden. Flowers are shining brightly on the outer wall of the masonry. The flowers that cover the balcony and under the windows make you realize that "flowers are power".

| Flower street corner |
Restaurant |
The restaurant on the street corner overlooking the old castle is also in full bloom. Ivy geranium gives flowers a very large volume.
The cityscape is full of flowers, and the buildings and cityscape look very beautiful. The flower arrangement that decorates the slope toward Lake Geneva also has wonderful volume. The building at the end of the slope is a restaurant and hotel. Ivy and flowers cover the entire wall. Ivy geranium is also in full bloom on the balcony of the cafeteria facing the yacht harbor on Lake Geneva.

| Masonry building |
Souvenir shop |
Masonry exterior walls and scaly roof tiles are characteristic for the region's buildings, with many fireplace chimneys on their roofs. Since it is France, wines are lined up at souvenir shops. The building with the masonry outer wall plastered is a sign that it belonged to the upper class in the Middle Ages.

| Interior |
Large atrium space |
The tourist restaurant has an antique interior suitable for an old-fashioned exterior, but the souvenir shop is a pleasant surprise with a modern interior that can not be imagined from the masonry exterior.
