Castle in the clouds.
I mean really, honestly - it's almost like living in Disney World or some kind of pretend country. As you walk away from the lake and approach the town square of Nyon, this old prison is the most pronounced structure among all of the other buildings. On the other side, you get a beautiful view of the lake... Don't know how good the food was 400 years ago, but I wouldn't mind staying in a prison with a view like that!

All of the streets in this part of the village were made from cobblestones, and almost every bakery and storefront was decorated with flowers showcasing every color of the rainbow. You could easily get lost in this little village for an entire weekend (week, month,.. lifetime??) as you browse around the many art stores and handmade craft stores, wait in line to taste the freshly made ice-cream, or sit outside under the sun at a quaint cafe overlooking the lake.
