Things to do in  Evian-les-Bains

Overlooking Lake Geneva near the border with Switzerland, the Casino d'Evian is a large complex featuring table and electronic games, live entertainment, and plenty of dining options. It's also known for its Belle Epoque architecture and beautiful frescoed interiors.

Dating back to the 13th century, the Eglise Notre Dame de l'Assomption is among Evian's key historical attractions. The exterior is a fantastic example of Savoyard-style Gothic architecture, but it's worth heading inside to see the church's large collection of art and its massive pipe organ.

On the banks of Lake Geneva, the Palais Lumière was once a thriving spa and bathhouse, offering visitors and residents a convenient way to "take the waters." Today, this neoclassical building functions as a museum and meeting center, with conference rooms and a public exhibition hall.

The former summer house of Antoine Lumière, whose sons—the Lumière Brothers—were pioneers in early filmmaking technology, the Villa Lumière is among Evian-les-Bains’ finest examples of Belle Epoque architecture. Today, it houses the city’s Hôtel de Ville (Town Hall).
