Yvoire

Rhône-Alpes

Built by the count of Savoy Amedee V

Built by the count of Savoy Amedee V, Yvoire which has kept a massive tower and high walls, will celebrate its 700th birthday in 2006. The best time to visit would be in the autumn when leaves and foliage mirror their reds in cristalline waters of the lake.
