Yverdon-les-Bains

Yverdon-les-Bains is a thermal spa town in the Jura-Nord vaudois District located at 435 meters elevation near Lake Neuchâtel. It combines historical architecture with modern wellness facilities that offer mineral-rich water treatments through indoor and outdoor pools available year-round.

The Roman settlement of Eburodunum eventually became a naval base with a military stronghold controlling important trade routes through the region. This strategic location shaped the town's growth and importance over many centuries.

The Castle of Yverdon, built in the 13th century, now holds a regional museum with collections showing how the town developed through time. The exhibits reveal the town's importance to the surrounding area and how people have lived here across different periods.

The thermal center welcomes many visitors daily and offers mineral-water treatments available throughout the year. Plan your visit considering the season, as busy times vary and you will enjoy the experience more on quieter days.

The Champ-Pittet was once the home of Canada's first Governor General and now operates as a nature conservation center. This location connects European history with local wildlife and plants, making it a place where past and environment meet.
