Very nice visit to this wonderfully maintained park. No false notes, few flowers because harmony is found above all in the arrangement and enhancement of the architectural elements. The sobriety is beautiful, classic. You can enjoy the perspectives and landscapes in complete tranquility.

Superb afternoon strolling the paths of this French garden. Guided tour using the app accessible via the QR code on the entry ticket.

Very disappointing, poorly maintained, it's not worth the 7 euros, it's better to go for a walk in the forest, it's free and prettier, I strongly advise against it!!! This is theft.

Very very very beautiful park which is definitely worth the detour!! Good welcome, leaflet and QR code to have explanations of the entire park on your phone. These are rich and pleasant, it’s very well done! Very few people, which is pleasant. A place suitable for strolling and resting because it is silent and very beautiful. Allow at least 2 hours to visit and stroll through the park peacefully. You can come with the stroller without worries because the paths are very well maintained. These are French gardens so if you want to see flowers, this is not the place.

Vufflens Castle

Vufflens castle was built in 1425 on the site of a previous medieval castle by Henri de Colombier. It is the most significant example of a small group of fortified Romandy castles from the middle ages, characterised above all by its brick construction. In 1530, it was set on fire by Bernese troops. In 1641 it was acquired by the de Senarclens family. The castle is currently privately owned and cannot be visited.

A pleasant 30 minute-walk through the vineyards between Vufflens-le-Château and Denens, offers a stunning view of this magnificent castle, the lake and the Mont-Blanc.
