The place :
Within a stone′s throw of the Swiss border and close to the Geneva Lake, Divonne is a charming spa town, which was built in the mid-19th century. This elegant spa resort used to welcome Prince Jérôme Bonaparte among many other aristocrats and industry barons who came for treatments.
Bearing the signs of a sumptuous past, the Domaine de Divonne reminds of the luxurious hotels on the French Riviera in spring and summer seasons. Its charm, the quality of its amenities and accommodation, the fame of its golf course and the sweetness of its spa and Atelier de Beauté soothe guests in search of quiet, relaxation and refinement.
Originating from a river gushing out over this locality and believed to be divine by the Celts, the name Divonne was given to this peaceful natural haven. Amid the Mont Blanc Massif and the Jura mountains, people who enjoy strolling in wooded countries will love the hundred-year-old trees in its park.
