Yvoire Flights

Yvoire is the size of Place de la Concorde, at most, so you won't have problems to move around and see everything. You will have to walk - they don't allow everyone to take their cars inside the walled city, so you must leave your voiture in the parking lot outside.

Whether you go by car, train or boat, as you see Yvoire is just a tiny little town.
By boat you arrive on the northside. By car on the south side. A large parking is available at the city entrance

This is a must do.
When you're in Evian or Thonon-les-Bains, make a day-trip to Yvoire. A return ticket costs you 25 € but it's really worth it on a sunny day.
The boat takes you slowly along the lakeside .
Beautiful scenery is waiting for you.
And then you arrive in the colourful Yvoire harbour.

The "Swiss Riviera" - at least, that's what the Swiss say. Park your car in the large parking complex and walk through Yvoire. A wonderful road trip......

To get to Yvoire from Geneva, we enjoyed a leisurely ride along a country road (D25) that passed through some lovely little villages to get to Yvoire, it was barely imperceptible that you were passing from Switzerland to France as there was no border guard, at least not that day. Remember to take your passport though if you are coming from Switzerland and remember that the currency switches to Euro.

Michelin's website takes you along N5 which is a slightly larger and faster road but if you have the time, I'd recommend D25. I don't recall exactly how long it took but it's about 30 kms so I don't think it took much longer than 30-45 minutes from Geneva. As with most of the driving on this trip, we found that directional signs were excellent, we rarely consulted our map except to figure out if we wanted to take the highway or more scenic routes.

Yvoire is pedestrian only so you park in the pay parking lots, you pay after you are done with your visit.

If you are not traveling by car, you can take a ferry from Geneva to Yvoire, from the information I have it currently costs 36.20 CHF for 2nd class, 49.40 in 1st class and the journey takes an hour or more each way depending on the type of boat, it's almost 2 hours via paddle steamer.

I assume it stops within walking distance of the medieval town but you might want to check that in advance, the people at the docks in Geneva are very helpful.
