With the Swiss Pass, you can enjoy unlimited travel on trains and buses in Switzerland as well as some cruises, and you can also enjoy a day trip to Evian at no extra cost. The charm of Evian: Visit the famous spring Evian-les-Bains is the birthplace of the world-famous Evian mineral water. In this town, there is the "Cachat Spring" where Evian water actually springs, and you can drink it freely. This is a special experience where you can taste Evian sold in bottles on the spot. It is common to see local people coming to draw water, and it is clear that Evian water is loved as a part of their daily lives. Evian as a historic hot spring resort Evian-les-Bains has flourished as a high-class hot spring resort visited by European royalty and aristocrats since the 19th century. Originally, in the 18th century, the water of the Cachat spring gained a reputation for its health benefits, and in the 19th century it was developed as a sanatorium and became a summer resort for the upper class. As a vestige of this, beautiful Belle Epoque buildings are scattered throughout the city. In particular, Evian's thermal baths and Evian Casino are places that exude history and elegance. Long strolls and enjoy a French atmosphere The city of Evian is small, and you can spend a pleasant time just walking along the promenade along the lake. The city has a calm and sophisticated French atmosphere that is different from Switzerland, and we recommend relaxing in a cafe or tasting a croissant at a French bakery. The charm of this small city is that you can enjoy it thoroughly even in a short time. Summary Evian-les-Bains is a great short trip spot to visit on a cruise from Lausanne, where you can easily experience France while traveling in Switzerland. You can experience a different charm from Switzerland by visiting the world-famous Evian water source, enjoying the atmosphere of a historic thermal resort, and experiencing French cafe culture. What's more, if you have a Swiss Pass, the cruise is free, so you can easily visit as an extension of your trip to Switzerland.
