Quick table: Compare your two stops

Midday: Refuel by the lake

You have two easy options around lunchtime:

• Picnic by the water at Sciez‑sur‑Léman beach. The beach holds the international Blue Flag label for its water quality and facilities. From Camping du Châtelet, it’s less than a five‑minute walk—perfect if you’d like to regroup at your pitch or chalet and stroll down with a basket.

If your group still has energy to burn, consider a short lakeside stroll. The marina in Sciez sits in a protected, welcoming bay and makes a lovely spot to admire boats and recharge.

Afternoon: Time‑travel at the Prehistory Museum

After lunch, head to the Prehistory Museum for an immersive journey through human ingenuity. Through a remarkable collection of artifacts, this new museum traces the development of human knowledge—from simple carved pebbles to the end of the Bronze Age. Families and curious minds alike can enrich the visit with workshops and demonstrations.

  • A clear timeline of human development through authentic artifacts
