Located near Nyon, the majestic Château de Prangins is the only branch of the National Museum in French-speaking Switzerland. It is therefore a cultural place not to be missed in the region and particularly because it is the largest 18th century castle that can be visited in Switzerland and it has the largest historical vegetable garden in the country.
The permanent exhibitions are a journey to the Age of Enlightenment, in particular "Noblesse oblige! Castle life in the 18th century", which depicts the daily life of a noble family in the Pays de Vaud. The temporary collections highlight subjects related to Swiss culture or current events. A cultural trail and a gigantic historical vegetable garden allow the visit to continue outside. The fruits of the ancient species grown here can be tasted at the Café du Château.
