Lake Geneva region

Villeneuve

Villeneuve is a small municipality in the canton of Vaud. It is located directly at the eastern end of Lake Geneva and is therefore ideal for wonderful walks or bike rides along the lakeshore. Its proximity to Lake Geneva also makes it an interesting place for anglers and for practising various water sports. Villeneuve also has many charming, historic buildings in its old town. These include the mighty old hospice, which is now the town hall of Villeneuve. In Villeneuve, you will find cozy cafés and restaurants where you can sample local specialties and the region's famous wines.
