Still dealing with rain and clouds today, we tour the walled town of Gruyères and the surrounding area in the morning, and then head back south to the coast of Lake Geneva to see the Castle Chillon.

Yep, we're in French Switzerland now.


Château de Chillon is built on a rock island just offshore of the lake. The foundation of the castle can be seen resting directly on the rock in the lowest levels.

Back to Gruyères... better weather now
