I was at the Porcelain Museum of the Chateau de Nyon, the other day, with a group of people I regularly go out with, on cultural visits. Nyon is our neighboring town, a beautiful place by Lake Geneva, that dates back to the Roman times. You can learn more about this quaint town at http://www.region-du-leman.ch/en/page.cfm/TownsLakes/Nyon if you wish.

The display of the porcelain and the history behind the pieces are remarkable and I really recomend you to go and see it for yourself, if you have a chance. If you happen to be there, please notice the beautiful chairs in the Museum - each room has an unique style of chairs, a very beautiful collection of chairs, indeed, available for you to sit on and rest your tired feet while enjoying the exhibits.

Steps to the chateau

Every time I walk these steps to the chateau de Nyon, I wonder about the people who walked the same path since the Romam times... these walls must have witnessed a lot thoughout the centuries.
