This restored medieval village is well worth a visit if you're into history and architecture. The streets and lanes are all paved with cobblestones and most of the houses are built with stone. It's impossible to get lost as the main street is circular. It's based around a town square with a 200yo linden tree. And some nice restaurants. Take the time to visit the museum - only 5 euro - not least so you have the chance to climb the tower which gives great views over the village roofs and the surrounding countryside. It's one of those places where it's impossible to take a bad photo.
3. Monastere Royal de Brou

4.5 based on 1,009 reviews
The royal church of Brou in Bourg-en-Bresse was built between 1505 and 1532 by Margaret of Austria as a monument to the memory of her husband, Philibert the Fair, Duke of Savoy. It is a masterpiece of the Flamboyant Gothic style and is richly ornamented with magnificent tombs, a fine altarpiece, statues and choir stalls that testify to the artistry of 16th century Flemish craftsmen. A museum is housed in the monastic buildings.

We stayed in Geneva for a week and this was a fantastic day trip for us. We really didn't expect to find such a great place here as it didn't seem to be advertised much anywhere. But it was one of the highlights of our stay in Geneva, including the drive there which is through an impressive, wild landscape.

Easily accessed these falls can be seen from the road. Parking is plentiful and free and a lovely coffee stop right across the road too. Well worth a stop off

I have been to Geneva three times and on every trip make it a point to come to this market. The selection of cheese, food, etc is amazing. The atmosphere at the market is really nice and the people are very friendly.I come from malaysia where we use spices in everything, but frankly i have not seen as many spices being sold as i have seen in this place. Theres a homemade jam seller, whom we have bought jam from many times. We buy his bottles of jams as little gifts for our friends when we return back to Malaysia. So if you are there and looking for gifts thats an idea. If you are in Geneva and you like browsing thru markets, this is a very nice one.

8. Lac de Nantua

The Nantua Lake is a natural one of glacial origin. It’s a huge mass of water covering more than 140 hectares though the original glacier area was much larger than the lake nowadays. Its depth is also considerable. It’s surrounded by mountains with limestone cliffs, the whole forming a magnificent landscape worth being beheld for a long while what, among other things, may infuse spiritual peacefulness. In order to get that feeling one should betake himself far from the road bordering some parts of the lake so as to shun any disturbance caused by the cars’ engine noise. It’s a good place for bathing and swimming but when doing so it’s advisable not to remain by the margins where the water is mostly muddy or turbid. Therefore, it’s much better to go swimming to the middle of the lake. This is also suitable for fishing, sailing and pedalo boating.
