Faverges

Nestled between Lake Annecy and the mountains, Faverges-Seythenex hides a fascinating Gallo-Roman past. 2,000 years ago, its present-day hamlet of Viuz — then known as Casuaria — was an important stop along the great Roman road through the Alps. Even today, you can discover the remains of that era, along with its exceptional treasure of more than 2,000 silver coins, buried before the barbarians arrived and now on display at the museum.
