Ile d'Yvoir

What travelers say:

The town of Yvoire is always associated with the words “medieval,” “pictured,” and “flowers full.” Located on a peninsula divided into two halves by Lake Leman (also known as Lake Geneva), Castle Ivar was built in 1306 and the Duke of Savoie Amédée V was used to monitor and control Geneva and the Rona Valley and Italian traffic. Over the centuries, Ivar became the object of competition in France, Bern, and Geneva. Later, as the commercial route changed, Ivar lost his strategic position and gradually became a common agricultural and fishing village. Until the twentieth century, with the excavation of Ival's medieval heritage and the selection of flower towns, Ival re-entered the landscape and became a tourist attraction by Lake Geneva. Today, Ivar wears the crown of "flower town", "the most beautiful countryside in France" and "the favorite village of France" on his head. On the edge of the parking lot is the lake bank, tree-lined, blue waves, and the Swiss towns on the other side of the lake are faintly visible. There are various sailboats, large and small, on the dock. Swans and ducks wandered uninhabited in the water. Crushed a narrow intersection and turned into an uphill road. On one side was the castle's mottled stone walls, and on the other side, the stone flower beds were filled with all kinds of flowers and green plants, and walked on the road, welcomed by the VIP-like lane. To the center of the town, the windowsills of every household, the entrance of the door, the entrance of the ladder, the flowers are clustered, and the walls are the market for mountain tigers, ivy and Linghuahua. Most of the shops on both sides of the street are selling tourist souvenirs and food stores. The people in the store are also very leisurely, sitting on the street in front of the store drinking coffee in a daze, teasing passing comets.
