POST-CONFERENCE TOURS
Staying a bit longer after the conference? Two post-conference tours are available for ICDAR participants on Saturday, September 11. They can be booked via the conference registration platform.
Chillon Castle
Guided morning excursion by private bus 
In Veytaux, near the village of Montreux, Chillon Castle has stood proudly on its rocky island for nearly a thousand years. A true treasure from the past, a must-see.
This idyllic setting has been a delight for all to see since the 12th century: with Lake Geneva and the Alps as its backdrop, the imposing fortified Chillon Castle is surrounded by the most beautiful scenery. Not surprising that this romantic setting was for centuries a source of inspiration for many artists. Made famous by Jean-Jacques Rousseau who based the story of his novel “New Heloise” here in the 18th century, the Chillon Castle then attracted the poet Lord Byron, inspired by a true story to write his most famous poem, “The Prisoner of Chillon”.
