Duingt
A medieval village on a peninsula in the narrowest part of the lake, with the Duingt castle on a small island in the lake and stone-paved lanes. It is the most photogenic corner of the west shore.
Duingt lies on a peninsula at the narrowest point of the lake, which divides it into the 'Grand Lac' and the 'Petit Lac'. The village retains old stone houses and flower-lined lanes. The Duingt castle (also known as the Château de Lafruit) stands on a small island in the lake and is privately owned, so it can only be admired from the shore, and it is especially photogenic when reflected in the water. The lakeside cycle path passes through the village via an old railway tunnel, and there is a lakeside beach nearby. It faces Talloires across the water, and you can also reach it by boat.
