Historic Old Town of Saint-Prex

Highlight • Historical Site

In the old town of Saint-Prex you quickly feel as if time has stood still. No wonder that the community received the Wakker Prize in 1973 for the care and preservation of the historic townscape. So it's worth a quick stop, especially for a photo or two.

a nice bathing place. The water was quite fresh at 14 degrees in May, but clear and clean. Access to the lake is rare, most of it is private.
