Yvoire – the source of inspiration

We have found a magical place and we want to share it with you! In September we felt the need of a trip: we had to detach ourselves from the urban environment, from all the stress. We wanted to relax in order to clear our minds, to take a fresh air breathe. We decided to go to Yvoire, a little French village which we didn’t know much about.

In a short amount of time we understood why Yvoire is known as one of the most beautiful villages in France. Arrived there, we saw that Yvoire is a medieval burg which was built in a very bucolic area (it is located on the shore of Lake Geneva), that it is a place away from the everyday hazard: here we could sharpen our senses and found our inspiration.

After we landed, we decided to go downtown Yvoire. We observed that the locals have a deep respect for nature: they passionately take care of this empire of flowers. The local’s fervor reminded us about the passion that grips us when we craft our clothing items. Also, by admiring the flowers that embellished the terraces and the coffee shops and by walking on those cozy streets, we released our minds observing the delicate textures, the beautiful colors combinations and the gorgeous work of the nature…that helps us improving our crafting skills.

Thanks to those charming alleys that invite you to think of times long gone, when everything was simple and tranquil, we flooded our souls with inspirational moments.

Also, the Yvoire harbor is stunning! Just walking along the dam you are embraced by a calm feeling. Luckily, we had a good weather, the sun made his presence felt on the sky and this was an extra reason for admiring the way that the boats were sailing in the bay.

Every alley, every shop, every terrace has its contribution at this calm, intimate and romantic atmosphere of the city.

We ended the day on a terrace, with a glass of wine and an amazing landscape of the lake between the mountains. We realized that Yvoire is a wonderful place, where nature, history, and kindness join up together for offering you a unique experience.

Although we walked all day long we felt good in our outfits – we were inspired by Alice Botnarenco’s style. She was wearing a very beautiful white shirt with pink stripes and a black cardigan.

We are sorry that we didn’t have time to visit the Garden of Five Senses, but we found out that this place can delight your senses with more than 1300 varieties of plants. So, next time when we will visit we will have the opportunity to contemplate, to smell and to touch the greenery while walking through a spectacular maze. Let’s hope we will not find any Minotaur there!

Regarding the whole image of Yvoire, realizing where you are, in the heart of the nature, you will instantly fall in love with this city!

So, this is the city that we would recommend you to visit when you need to recharge yourself with positive energy and to find your inspiration.
