0 HERMANCE - PART I

Last Saturday the weather was particularly beautiful. The sky was azure blue, the temperatures were very enjoyable and the sun was shining strongly. Seeing that it was going to be a perfect day for playing tourists in the Geneva countryside, we decided to take the bus to the quaint village of Hermance.

This beautiful medieval village on the left bank of Lake Leman (Lake Geneva) was built in the 13th century. It is is tucked right on the edge of the lake and is situated on the border with France. Hermance is accessible by foot, car, bus and boat. There you can admire the pretty houses, savor the awesome view, relax on the harbour, swim in the lake, camp by the lakeside, catch a boat and explore the enchanting back country.

So, after travelling for about 50 minutes we arrived in Hermance where we went for a little walk on the hilltop. There, the sceneries are magnificent and so romantic. The countryside is fairytale-like, soft, peaceful and full of charm. Such perfect surroundings are ideal for taking pictures and doing long hikes...
