Château de Bonneville
Castle
Open Details
Your first stop is at Bonneville. The Castle at the top of the town, from the 13th century, is in perfect conservation state and a perfect example of Savoy style.
If you go during summer you can visit the inside where you can see some medieval graffities. If not, you can enjoy the surrounding views.
For me, the best it's the feeling of the castle: medieval, imposing, controlling the river and the town.
You can check for accurate opening hours and more information at the official website.

What I love the most about this place is that the food is traditional Savoy. Well, I also love the terrace on a sunny day. You definitely should taste the tartiflette, one of the most emblematic dishes of the Savoy cuisine. The gratin de crozets is also a perfect option.
