This road trip leaves from Geneva.

Open hours: Everyday from 8am to midnight, you can have a drink at O' Les Terrasses du Lac.

The Prangins Castle rises on a natural hill overlooking Leman Lake. There are many exhibitions, permanent and temporary, to discover on their website.
One of the most popular exhibit is Switzerland : What is it ? There are several rooms dedicated to understand the Switzerland of yesterday and today: identity, territory, the evolution of the role of the women in this country… The castle is dating from the Middle Ages, and it is very well maintained.
Opening hours : Every day from 10am to 5pm — closed on Mondays Good to know : Some exhibits can open at night

Opposite the nautical port of Prangins, this charming restaurant gives pride of place to generous local cuisine with subtle flavours. You have to try the “filets de perches”
