A charming village named Rolle

On the last Saturday in April, we escaped to Rolle: a grey and rainy, yet well filled day!!

We had a light lunch at Le Léman Restaurant by the lake in Nyon: perch fillets, a traditional and simple Swiss dish of which we are both particularly fond!!

Le Léman Restaurant, Rue de Rive 28, Nyon, tél. +4122 361 2241




For dessert, Sweetheart ordered Tarte Tatin and I had Tiramisu. Their homemade desserts are a must.

After our lunch, we headed to Rolle, a municipality in the Canton of Vaud located on the banks of Lac Léman between Geneva and Lausanne in the La Côte region.

This charming bourgeois village of about 6000 souls was established in the vicinity of a castle built in the 1260s.

I leave you with this suggestion for a nice stroll in the Geneva region, whether you are an expat or a visitor.


The Grand-Rue is the main street. A nice antique shop...


…selling old books at CHF 2 each, a real bargain, aren't they??
