Nyon is not only a gateway to Lake Geneva and the Jura mountains, it's also an ideal base from which to explore the charms of neighbouring France. Just a few kilometres away, on the other side of the border, you'll find destinations full of character: Yvoire, with its enchanting medieval village, Évian and its healing springs, Thonon and its lakeside heritage, Divonne-les-Bains, renowned for its spa and casino, and Gex, nestling at the foot of the Jura mountains.

Travelling means rediscovering what's close by with fresh eyes.
