What you can expect

Experience a slice of French paradise when you visit the alpine resort of Chamonix and beautiful medieval town of Yvoire on this full-day tour. Journey into France and get intimate views of Mont Blanc before venturing through medieval castles and the Garden of Five Senses in Yvoire.

In the morning, meet your guide and hop into a coach to ride from Geneva into France. As you drive, admire the rolling alpine terrain that passes beside you, leading up into snowcapped peaks. Once you arrive in Chamonix, nestled quietly in the foothills of the Alps, admire the view of the breathtaking Mont Blanc, the highest mountain in the Alps. Spend your time exploring Chamonix's quaint shops and learning about the extreme sports that make it a popular winter destination, or opt to take a cable car up the mountain itself.

Drive next to Yvoire to explore a piece of medieval France. The town, which was built in the early 14th century, is recognised as one of the Most Beautiful Villages of France (Les Plus Beaux Villages de France). Step back in time as the 700-year-old Yvoire Castle and imposing stone fortifications that once defended the city. In the Garden of Five Senses, roam through a stunning labyrinth of flora to refresh every one of your senses. At the end of your tour, return to Geneva with a relaxing ferry trip across Lake Geneva, landing in the picturesque English Garden.

Please note that Yvoire is a Self-guided Tour
