The village of CoppetCoppet was founded around 1280 by Humbert IV of Thoire and Villars. In 1299 we find the first explicit mention "in burgo castri nostri de copet" (i.e. "in the village of our castle of Coppet". The historic village of Coppet offers its old streets and Bernese arcades to the promenade that will take you to the shores of the lake from where you will see Geneva, the Alps and the Tip of Yvoire on the French shore.
