Domaine de Rovorée - La Châtaignière

With a 1.2 km lake frontage and landscapes between giant sequoia and centuries-old chestnut trees, the 24-hectare site is an ideal place for family relaxation and walking. This 24-hectare estate, one of the few accessible public spaces on the shores of Lake Geneva in France, is home to the Manoir de Rovorée and La Châtaignière, owned by the Haute-Savoie department and the Conservatoire du Littoral. The Domaine is one of the largest natural sites accessible to the public on the French side of Lake Geneva. It is not a developed urban park, but a sensitive natural area, home to an ancient forest with centuries-old chestnut trees, lakeshores with tufa caves and medieval remains, forest and shore birds and a splendid panorama of Lake Geneva. The absence of contemporary development preserves the magical charm of these landscapes, shaped over the centuries by human practices, and offers nature lovers and quiet enthusiasts a unique site, notably for its magnificent chestnut trees, rooted for two centuries in this unspoilt setting. The estate boasts a wide variety of landscapes: tufa resurgences, meadows, hedges, wooded areas, lake shores... These contrasts explain the richness of the local biodiversity. There are no fewer than 350 species of flora, 87 species of birds, 29 species of butterflies and 13 species of bats! The site is designed to welcome all kinds of visitors: interpretation panels along the trails, parking, PRM accessibility, teaching aids for teachers, an off-site room planned... Some of the trails are accessible to people with reduced mobility. Every year, from April to October, the Département and its partners offer free nature discovery activities, enabling you to discover the richness of the site in a playful, artistic and unusual way, as well as an exhibition linking nature and culture. Sensitive natural area owned by the Haute-Savoie département.

Chapelle Notre Dame du Lac

The Chapelle Notre Dame du Lac is a privately-owned property that forms part of the historic estate of the village of Nernier. The purpose of the Notre Dame du Lac association is to safeguard, restore and maintain the chapel. Abbé Favre erects a sanctuary dedicated to the Mother of God under the name of Notre Dame du Lac. He was looking for a suitable plot of land on which to build this religious edifice, and proposed that the commune sell him a plot of land at La Luche du Crot, between Chemin du Cré and Chemin de Frize. In 1856, the municipal council agreed to the construction of the chapel. But it was not until August 1, 1862, that the municipal council agreed to sell the land for the modest sum of 50 francs. The council's deliberations include an essential clause in the contract: "Should the chapel be demolished or cease to be used as a religious service, the land will revert to the Commune by right and without indemnity". As the parcel of land sold was not sufficient, Abbé Favre asked the Comte d'Antioche, who owned the adjacent meadow, to add to the extent of the land by making a donation. In order to build the chapel, Abbé Favre opened a bazaar in Nernier and went begging in Lyon and even as far as Paris. Every year, he made a profit of between 1,500 and 2,000 francs, with the noble family of Saugy helping to finance the project. He launched the construction of the Notre-Dame-du-Lac chapel for the conversion of the Vaud region, the preservation of the Catholic religion in the Chablais region and for boatmen in mortal danger. The chapel was opened for worship on November 21, 1861 by archpriest Duret de Massongy. To see a photo of the chapel: https://youtu.be/oIoslROcuog

Saint Peter's Church

Saint Peter's Church

The church, dedicated to Saint Peter, stands in a secluded position between the town and the village of Veret. It was built between 1839 and 1841 in the neo-classical Sardinian style. While the neighboring parishes of Nernier, Yvoire and Excenevex depended on the abbey of Filly, Messery was under the authority of the chapter of St Pierre-de-Genève, and appears to have little income. As early as the 15th century, there was a confraternity of the Holy Spirit. The population then stood at 30, rising to 40 in 1518 and over 50 by the end of the 16th century. As a result, emigration began at the end of the previous century. During the Bernese occupation, Nernier, until then a godchild of Yvoire, became part of Messery in 1540 and remained so until 1793. When the occupiers left, Messery was one of three parishes authorized to retain a Reformed minister. In 1589, in the midst of a religious war, the Baron d'Hermance, governor of Allinges, authorized it to continue celebrating the Lord's Supper, preaching and baptizing, but the chroniclers point out that "there is no exercise in the whole baillage other than here". As a result, the village was spared from the Geneva troops that were ravaging the Chablais region at the time. Similarly, after the mission of St. François de Sales, the parishes of Messery and Nernier, made up mainly of boatmen and fishermen, were reluctant to recant and, along with Yvoire, were among the last to convert. The behavior of the local nobility could only encourage them in this attitude.
