Villa Salagnon

Salagnon, also known as “Swan Island”, is the only inhabited island on Lake Geneva! During the construction of the railway in 1880, an artificial island was created with the excavated material. The island was bought ten years later by a French painter, Théobald Chartran, who commissioned the construction of a Florentine villa and a small harbour there. Today, the island and the villa are classified as a cultural heritage site of national importance.

The seminar day can be sustainably supplemented with the “0 kilometre menu”. Here, all ingredients come from the monastery’s own production.
