In the heart of the beautiful Lake Geneva region, the picturesque village of Bursins is nestled amidst lush vineyards bordering the famous ‘Route du Vignoble de la Côte’, one of Switzerland’s most renowned wine routes.

This enchanting corner, in a privileged location, offers a breathtaking view of the magnificent Lake Geneva, which stretches out before visitors’ eyes like a natural painting. Bursins is a place that enchants all those who love tranquillity, unspoilt nature, good wine and the authentic charm of traditional Swiss villages. Here, local producers welcome visitors with warmth and hospitality, offering unforgettable tasting experiences of fine local wines, which go perfectly with the flavours of the region’s typical cheeses, thus creating a perfect blend of taste and tradition. In the village, which retains its rustic and cosy character, you will also find a real historical and cultural gem: the Romanesque church dedicated to St Martin, dating back to the year 1000. This splendid building, with its imposing architecture and timeless charm, is a silent witness to the history of the region. In the past, the church was part of the convent of Romainmôtier, another place rich in history and beauty located nearby. Both sites are now part of the European Federation of Cluniac Sites, a cultural itinerary of great value that has been promoted by the Council of Europe to protect and enhance the places linked to the legacy of the Cluniac Order. A curious aspect of Bursins is the village coat of arms, which also appears on church banners dating back to 1754. This emblem, rich in symbolism, plays with a clever play on words that recalls the very name of the village and the word ‘bourse’, thus creating a fascinating link between its name and one of its most emblematic features, adding a further touch of originality to its historical and cultural identity.
