This was a great family activity. The castle is beautiful. Various different exhibitions on different floors. We particularly enjoyed the kids guided “what is Switzerland ? tour. There is also a most beautiful restaurant at the chateau that had a fantastic menu. And the grounds are simply incredible.

The Château is an excellent outing for either half a day or a full day out depending on how much you would like to enjoy the area. Located just off the shores of Lake Geneva you can take a journey back in time to the Baron and Baroness Guiger the original owners. The upper floors offer rotating exhibits of who the Swiss are as well as a history of wallpaper and fabric. The kitchen garden is also a sight to behold.
