Located at the tip of the Leman peninsula (presqu'île de Léman), Yvoire delimits the two main parts of Lake Geneva, the "petit lac" and the "grand lac".

It is well known for its medieval buildings and beautiful flower decorations during the summer season, and also Jardin des Cinq Sens, a garden in the center of the town. It is one of the "most beautiful villages of France".

The town was fortified by Amadeus V in the 14th century. It soon gained a strategic military importance and the inhabitants were given tax privileges.
