With its large bay windows looking out over the castle, Café Byron will be open to visitors in need of a tasty pit-stop throughout the day.

Café Byron is open all year round, except the 1st of January and the 25th of December, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Try our new offer “Vive la Suisse!”: 1 entrance and 1 menu combined.

Please avoid swimming costumes… Dogs are welcome on the terrace.

Snack bar

Fancy a quick drink while taking in one of the most beautiful views of Chillon?

Tucked away in the Savoy Garden, the castle ‘snack bar’ will help quench your thirst and feed those hunger pangs at the foot of the castle, a stone’s throw from Lake Geneva.

The ‘snack bar’ is open when weather conditions permitting it.

Shops

THE BAZaAR

Our listed century-old bazaar offers a wide range of products that complement the one in the interior boutique with wooden toys, castle wine, teas, notebooks, chocolate, mugs, jewelry, and objects bearing the effigy of the medieval period. You will also find postcards and magnets with delicious medieval recipes. Visitors will also find tasty products bearing the VAUD CERTIFIÉ D’ICI label (sweet and savoury cookies, flutes, honey, drinks, etc.).

We take great care to choose providers located in Switzerland and Europe, to preserve the environment. If this is not possible, as in the case of stuffed animals, we prefer products made from 100% recycled plastic.

The Bazaar will be open in December 2024, at the same times as the castle.

It will then be open from January 2 to 5, 2025, from February 15 to October 31 and from December 1 to December 31.

What treasures will you unearth at the Castle Shop?

Tucked away in the castle walls, the shop offers visitors a wide range of books and toys, along with souvenirs of Chillon highlights, wine of the castle and hand-crafted items made using traditional techniques. Visitors will also find tasty products bearing the VAUD CERTIFIÉ D’ICI label (sweet and savoury cookies, flutes, honey, drinks, etc.).

To underscore the museum tie-in, here you will also find various books on history available in French, English and German. And for the little ones… a treasure trove of medieval figurines, castle models, princess costumes and even a full suit of armour for your little knights and warrior princesses!

The Shop is open every day of the year except 1 January and 25 December from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
