Moat of Le Château Chillon

[ Moat ]

Moat, Le Château Chillon

Chillon is interesting in that it uses Lake Lèman (otherwise known as Lake Geneva) as its moat. This insures that it can't be mined. (Imagine having all of Lake Lèman pouring down on your head as you try to dig a tunnel under the wall).

From here, you can walk along the front wall, or you can go to the keep or to the vaults.
