Welcome to Ripaille !Ripaille, located between Thonon and Evian on the banks of Lake Geneva (Lac Leman), is one of the most notable places of history, nature and beauty in the Haute-Savoie. This former residence of the Dukes of Savoie, also a Charterhouse in the Middle-Ages, was in ruins when, in 1892, it was bought by an industrialist and art lover, Frédéric Engel-Gros. He restored the domain, including the historic buildings, the gardens and the large park. Today, Ripaille is mainly a private domain producing a famous AOC wine. The most interesting parts of the domain are open to visitors and lots of events are organized during the year.
