Evian: water and history


Fontaines sur les quais.jpg

Evian is located in the north of the Haute-Savoie département, next to Switzerland (the Swiss city of Lausanne is only 13 km away by the lake).

The town (372 to 739 m in altitude) is built right up against the Pre-Alps of Chablais in the form of an amphitheatre on Lake Geneva, Western Europe's largest lake, with a surface area of 582 km². Nestled between the lake and mountains, Evian benefits from a truly exceptional natural environment that has made it an internationally famous tourist resort.

The town cultivates this privileged situation via top-quality landscaping and urban cleanliness, and by protecting the surrounding natural area.
A popular destination for the organization of conferences and meetings, and with its many leisure and cultural activities and spas and cures, Evian continues to affirm its position as a four-season resort town.

World-famous for its pure, natural spring water, Evian has managed to preserve and highlight part of its architectural heritage and offers visitors the image of a warm, dynamic town.
