Prangins

Prangins occupies a lakeside terrace above Lake Geneva in the canton of Vaud. The commune lies just west of Nyon, where the broad lake shore looks towards the Alps across the water and the Jura rises inland. Its defining monument is Château de Prangins, an 18th-century country residence that is now part of the Swiss National Museum. The estate’s formal grounds include a restored historic kitchen garden, connecting the museum with the agricultural traditions of the La Côte wine-growing district. Prangins provides a measured introduction to French-speaking Switzerland, with Geneva and Lausanne following the same lakeside corridor.
