Up until that day I had no idea how many lovely, welcoming little towns there are on the way from Geneva to Lausanne. The paths are all easily accessible.

Nyon is a pretty town in the canton of Vaud, located on the shores of Lake Geneva. It is famous for being the starting point of the GR 5 which runs to the Netherlands.
