Saturday Getaway to Nyon

A few weeks ago, after a busy week, we could not wait for the weekend to arrive. So, that Saturday morning, we hurried out of the city to take a good breath of fresh air elsewhere. We headed to Nyon. Nyon is a charming small city situated between Geneva and Lausanne.

We  had no pre-established programme. We simply wanted to stroll around the city, look at the shops, discover cool new places and have lunch in a nice restaurant overlooking Lac Léman. All this bathed in sunny weather... Well, sadly not, because the promised sun was defeated by the clouds which reminded us that winter is here to stay.

We  slowly explored different corners of Nyon in this chilly weather. One of my favourite spots is the beautiful Castle - dating from the 12th century - on top of the hill next to a tiny garden and overlooking the lake.

I  like the old houses on the alleys of the Old Town of Nyon.

It  was superb. I’m such a fan of these mini getaways. Doing simple, silly things that beautify our days... And I like to share the beautiful things I see and discover.

I hope you liked the pictures of our day.

Happy New Year 2017

    Moi aussi, j'ai visité le Château de Nyon récemment et nous nous sommes promenés dans la ville. C'était chouette malgré le froid.
    Oh j'adore ton look ma belle, il est vraiment super beau ton manteau camel! J'en recherche un. Il vient d'où ton manteau?
    Gros bisous et très bonne année <3
