Discover Bons-En-Chablais

Bons-En-Chablais lies between the shores of Lake Geneva and the first foothills of the Chablais massif. When planning your trip, you can combine cultural and nature-focused activities here: the Jacques Marchand Exhibition Hall showcases regional art, while a guided walk explores the landscape and biodiversity. There are also initiatives devoted to local heritage and the restored Tour de Langin. If you are looking for a hotel, you can start by planning your trip around the subject that interests you most.

Art and Heritage

The Jacques Marchand Exhibition Hall showcases works by amateur and professional artists from the region. The range spans sculptures, paintings and photographs, as well as contemporary and classical art. The hall also has a permanent section featuring works by the sculptor Jacques Marchand, after whom it is named. This collection section is permanent, while the rest of the exhibition programme may change.

Terra Langini offers a second perspective on local heritage. The association organises public discovery outings, exhibitions and conferences to present and promote heritage. Its remit encompasses the architectural, environmental, craft, historical and cultural heritage of Bons-En-Chablais and the surrounding areas. Unlike the exhibition hall, which focuses on visual art, this scope also extends to the environment, crafts and architectural history. If you have a particular event in mind, check the date in advance.

Guided Walk and History

The guided walk is available on request in 2026; check availability for your preferred date. It covers the history of the area from prehistoric times through the Middle Ages to the present day, and combines this with interpretation of the landscape, the geology of the massif des Voirons and the biodiversity of the hillside. The walk also offers the opportunity to visit the “marais de Grange Vigny et à la Dame” wetlands and observe the local fauna and flora.

The restored Tour de Langin is the last surviving remnant of a 13th-century fortress in the commune. As a single structure, it stands as a reminder of the area’s former fortress history.

The activities appeal to different interests: the exhibition hall focuses on works of art, Terra Langini takes a broader approach to heritage, and the walk combines historical themes with landscape and biodiversity. This allows you to plan your trip according to whether you are looking for an art exhibition, a broader cultural topic, or a guided experience combining history and nature.
