The Route
From the Roman colony of Nyon to the Enlightenment castle of Prangins, ending at the tulip city of Morges — three chapters beside the largest lake in Western Europe.
Switzerland's oldest Roman colony, founded 45 BC by Julius Caesar — white medieval castle, Roman columns and the world-famous Paléo Festival
About Nyon
Nyon — founded as Colonia Iulia Equestris in 45 BC — is Switzerland's oldest Roman settlement. The white castle towers above the rooftops, the Roman columns face the Alps across the lake, and three world-class museums share a single combined ticket. It's a compact, walkable town that rewards every hour spent in it.
"In Nyon, every stone tells a story — from Julius Caesar's Roman columns to the festival that moves the heart of Switzerland."— La Côte Tourism
The largest 18th-century château open to the public in Switzerland — Swiss National Museum, historic kitchen garden and fine lakeside views
About Prangins
Five minutes from Nyon, the Baroque château of Prangins (1730s) rises on a terraced hillside above the lake. Built by Swiss banker Louis Guiguer, it hosted Voltaire and later Joseph Bonaparte. Since 1998 it is the Swiss National Museum for French-speaking Switzerland — 40 rooms and Switzerland's largest historic kitchen garden.
"Prangins is the most unjustly overlooked destination on Lac Léman — an Enlightenment palace within reach of a perfect afternoon."— Switzerland Tourism
The tulip city — 140,000 flowers in bloom now, the 1286 Savoyard castle, and Audrey Hepburn's home for nearly 30 years
About Morges
Morges was founded in 1286 alongside its famous castle — built that same year by Louis I of Savoy directly on the lake shore. Audrey Hepburn lived here for nearly 30 years and is buried in Tolochenaz nearby. In 1961, the Morges Manifesto — the founding document of the WWF — was signed here, making Morges a global landmark for conservation.
"Morges carries the secret charm of towns not yet swallowed by mass tourism — and it is all the better for it."— Morges Région Tourisme
