Over The old Châtelard farm

The old Châtelard farm stands at 23 Rue de Meyrin in Ferney-Voltaire, France, in a town best known for its link with the writer Voltaire and for sitting right beside the Swiss border near Geneva. It is a quiet stop for anyone who likes to see the everyday buildings of a town as well as its famous sights.

Tips for your visit

  • Plan on ten to fifteen minutes to look at the exterior from the street and take a few photos.
  • Daylight is best, since it lets you see the details of the walls, roofs and any outbuildings from the pavement.
  • Treat it as an exterior stop unless you know otherwise: check locally whether any part of it is open to visitors, and respect the privacy of anyone who lives or works there.
  • Pair it with a longer walk through the centre of Ferney-Voltaire, which is easy to explore on foot and has cafés for a break.
