Lake Geneva cruise to Yvoire, France

Lake Geneva from our boat.

I think this is the French side of the lake.

Leaving one of the villages on the Swiss side of Lake Geneva.

Yvoire Castle dates from the 14th century and is the first thing you see when get off the boat in Yvoire, France.

This cute chef figure was moving around as she was cooking and ringing her bell above one of the restaurants in Yvoire.

Of course there were macarons to remind us that we were in France.

I loved looking at all of the charming old medieval buildings while strolling through town.

When we were staying in Geneva, we took a morning cruise on Lake Geneva. We stopped at several little towns along the shore to let passengers on and off as we cruised along. Switzerland was on one side of the lake and France was on the other. The scenery was beautiful. At the end of the cruise, we docked in the medieval village of Yvoire, France, which dates back to the 14th century. This is another town where there are no cars allowed so walking around was very pleasant.

A side note to my blog readers who are around my age (i.e. went to college in the early 1970's). As we were cruising on the lake, I got a certain song by Deep Purple stuck in my head and was singing it to myself, especially since we had passed through Montreux, Switzerland on this trip. My daughter-in-law thought it was hilarious. Can you guess which song I'm talking about without going to the link?
