Beautiful Romanesque church on presumably Roman foundations, built in the 12th century, hence the unusual north-south orientation. A true gem.

Aubonne is recognizable by the white tower of its castle built in the 13th century. You reach the village by a climb well known to local cyclists, before emerging into the narrow streets lined with houses built between the 16th and 19th centuries. Several cafes and bakeries allow you to eat before continuing your walk in the vineyards of the Côte.

Unique in Switzerland, the Vallon de l'Aubonne Arboretum extends over an area of around 120 ha within an agricultural and forestry perimeter of around 200 ha. It has nearly 4,000 woody plants. The Arboretum pursues a scientific, educational and recreational objective: to make trees known and appreciated. Its collections bring together 3,000 species and varieties of trees and shrubs from all temperate zones of the earth. They are grouped by species and divided into groves highlighting shapes and colors according to their climatic and edaphic requirements, while taking into account their integration into the natural environment.
