The perfect place to take a break. It's a small park. There are benches and there is a view of the lake.

Thonon-les-Bains

Highlight • Structure

In Thonon, there's the lower town, located at lake level with its beautiful harbor. The older upper town is well worth a visit if you're traveling by bike. The view of Lake Geneva is splendid.

The Thonon cable car has been connecting the city center with the shores of Lake Geneva since 1888.
Designed by engineer Auguste Alesmonières, the total length of the line is 230 meters, including 86.8 meters of curve.
Inaugurated on Easter Monday, April 2, 1888, the Thonon cable car was used to overcome the difficulties of communication between the city and the port.
During its existence, the Thonon cable car was always in operation, only occasionally was it stopped for technical or political reasons.
It was renovated three times: in 1951 and 1989 (to modernize the mechanism) and most recently in 2010.
The new facility, which was inaugurated in 1989, is fully automated, which meant that the drivers in white blue-collar coats disappeared. The cabins now have a capacity of 54 seats.

June 5, 2023,2023-06-05 FR Thonon-des-Bains - Yvoire

Another section of the Via Rhôna on Lake Geneva that runs halfway away from major car traffic.
The destination was the medieval fishing village of Yvoire. Very picturesque, but also influenced by tourism. Away from the hustle and bustle there is a lovely promenade along the harbour.

August 20, 2025,Yvoire - Bord du Lac Léman – Schloss Ripaille Runde von Port de Publier

Took a short tour to the medieval village of Yvoire. I already knew the first 16 km from the tour two days ago. The old buildings were very interesting, but unfortunately, it seems to be no longer an insider tip.

August 15, 2025,In das schönste Dorf Frankreichs, Yvoir

Yvoir has been voted the most beautiful village in France several times. To get there, we went via Thonon-les-Bains, always close to the lake, on some really good roads. Anthy-sur-Leman is also an idyllic little village.
After Residence de Songy, we had to cycle on a busy road. Since today was a holiday, it was probably the last few people …

June 1, 2023,Runde nach Thonon-les-Bains

Today's bike ride to Thonon-les-Bains wasn't that nice. The route usually ran far away from the lake, often along busy roads. That's why we turned back in Thonon-les-Bain. On the way back we bought at Aldi and Leclerc. It will continue tomorrow.
