Thyez is a city on a human scale, where nature, industry and economy are part of life. The Lakes site illustrates this wonderfully. Between swimming, coworking, gastronomy and high quality accommodation, this is the place not to be missed! Business tourist, entrepreneur, visitor, inhabitant, Thyez has many assets to charm you.
Bent over them?
The Ceutrones were a Celtic people of the Alps, settled in the Arve Valley. The Thylons were therefore Celts, living in the 8th century BC. Not the type to seek conflict, the Ceutrones were rather pacifist: they coexisted with the Allobroges.
But legend has it that our "Ceutron thylons" opposed Hannibal and his elephants, trying to prevent them from crossing the Alpine passes. These Celtic ancestors are still celebrated today at the Celty Lake festival : you can see strapping fellows wrestling shirtless in the mud!
Lakes of Thyez: in the cool
The Thyez nautical base is damn well equipped: picnic tables, barbecues, children's play area, skate park, sports course with fitness equipment, ping-pong tables, volleyball, badminton and tennis courts. pétanque… In short, everything you need to exercise or have a drink with friends.
The swimming lake is supervised by lifeguards during the summer. We are relaxed when the kids are in the water! If you prefer to tease the gudgeon, you will be like a fish in water: trout and pike keep the line here.
And as the thylons do things thoroughly, the nautical base is widely accessible by rollerblading, stroller, scooter, cart or bicycle. In addition to the greenway, you have secure individual bicycle shelters nearby.
In Coux sure
At the foot of the Orchex point lies a corti* (garden) of Eden: "Sur le Coux", where time suspends its flight to transport you to the heart of nature, in the Bed and Breakfast of Evelyne and Jean-François.
Their warm welcome will make you want to stay here forever and enjoy the comfort of their guest rooms or their unusual habitats: transparent bubbles in the trees or hanging “drops”.
And if you prefer to taste their potato fritters completely perched, it is possible thanks to the Corde Joux: we install you in the trees at more than 6 meters for a "trendy meal".
