About Évian-les-Bains

Famed for its spring water — now available worldwide — Évian-les-Bains is a Belle Époque resort on the French side of Lake Geneva. An hour from both Geneva and Lausanne, this historic lakeside community is characterised by graceful late-19th and early 20th-century architecture, as well as manicured parks, framed by the snow-clad Alps. Accommodation options include simple, self-catering spots as well as classic landmark hotels, fit for a range of tastes and budgets. Our list of the best places to stay in Évian-les-Bains offers the ideal springboard to start planning your trip!

Spectacular Lake Geneva — also known as Lac Léman — is reason enough for a visit to Évian-les-Bains. Take scenic boat tours, sailing and kayaking trips, or enjoy fishing, swimming and paddle boarding. Keen hikers and cyclists can follow marked trails around the lake shore or into the surrounding foothills and mountains, whilst more relaxed amblers will delight in strolling along streets lined with Belle Epoque mansions or exploring the Jardins de L'eau du Pré Curieux. Don’t miss the chance to taste fresh water from the town’s central spring, pop into the Église Saint Nicolas de Veroce and admire the Fabuleux Village Des Flottins before pausing for a coffee.

Evenings are for sunset picnics with a view of the lake, or sampling the town’s top restaurants before retreating to one of the best places to stay in Évian-les-Bains.
