Discover Évian‑les‑Bains & Lac Léman This September & Beyond

Nestled right on Lac Léman, Hotel Le Bourgogne is ideally located for exploring this elegant spa town and the wider Swiss–French lakeside region. Just a short walk to the promenade, ferry port, and thermal spa, plus easy rail connections to Geneva—it’s a superb base from year round.

Getting there from Geneva

You can hop on a train from Geneva to Évian in just over an hour, often via the stunning ferry crossing from Lausanne. Alternatively, a scenic point-to-point ride along Lake Geneva offers beautiful Alpine vistas with minimal fuss.

September & October: Lakeside Elegance & Local Life

Lakeside Walk & Cruising
Start with the lovely 2 km lakeshore promenade—ideal in early autumn light—for views across to the Swiss Alps, local cafés, and Belle Époque architecture. For a different perspective, hop aboard the Agrion, an electric‑solar catamaran, or the historic barque La Savoie for a peaceful cruise on the lake.

Palais Lumière
Just a few minutes’ stroll from the hotel, this elegant former spa-now‑cultural centre hosts rotating exhibitions, a library, and media space—Palais Lumière is perfect for a quieter cultural afternoon.

Golf or Wellness
Fancy a round of golf? The Évian Resort Golf Club, a major destination and host of the Evian Championship, is nearby if you’re keen—all with spectacular lake and mountain panoramas. And don’t forget the town’s famous thermal baths, excellent for spa treatments, hydrotherapy and relaxation after your explorations.

Markets & Local Flavours
On Tuesday and Friday mornings, local markets line the streets with Savoyard cheese, fresh fish, honey and baked treats—ideal for sampling regional flavours or packing a picnic by the water.
