Château de Ripaille

Highlight • Castle

Originally built as a castle (of which nothing remains), the Château de Ripaille has existed since the end of the 13th or the beginning of the 14th century. It was also a Carthusian monastery in the meantime and is now privately owned - but you can visit it.
The castle itself has been classified as a historic monument since 1942. The surrounding buildings (for example, the entrance pavilion, the Bonne de Bourbon tower, the pavilion, the Carthusian cell and the agricultural buildings of the former Carthusian monastery) are classified since 1991.

Belvedere Park

Highlight • Viewpoint

The terrace is beautifully situated above the city, from here you have an exceptional panoramic view over Lake Geneva and the port of Rives.
Several restaurants and bars have settled nearby.

The statue that decorates the square was inaugurated on September 6, 1910.
This work by the sculptor Louis Noel represents Joseph Marie Dessaix, also known as "Bayard de la Savoie".

Thonon-les-Bains

Highlight • Lake

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.
