What a discovery was this visit of the old town of Nyon. The guide explained the origin of some of the names in the streets, then she gave us some information about the remains of the Roman Empire, which left a few monuments. After that we walked down to the Lake Léman, through some roads going up to the Castle, and to finish, a visit to the prisons which existed for a long time in this place, with many details and stories about it. Everything was very enjoyable during the hour and 45 minutes of the visit. An excellent way to know this very pretty city.
