Things to see and do Pully

Nearly 2,000 years ago, a splendid Roman villa stood on the Prieuré hill. Thanks to the work of archaeologists, this palace has now been reconstructed at the heart of Pully's Roman Villa Museum. You can admire its living room and superb wall paintings. These remains are home to the ArchéoLab, an archaeology discovery area with excellent ideas for tours and workshops for children, enabling them to discover archaeology and go back in time from a specific angle, such as a particular theme in Roman times. Great stuff!

Adjoining La Muette, C. F. Ramuz's family home, the museum is located in the heart of the village. This late ^18th-century bourgeois building, surrounded by a garden of rare trees, was bequeathed to the town in 1941 by the Luhrs-Patterson family, who expressed the wish that it become a public space. Collections relating to the region alternate with those devoted to contemporary art, as well as exhibitions highlighting a given artist or theme, intended for the general public. A permanent theme room is dedicated to Charles-Ferdinand Ramuz.

Historic site located in a one-hectare park on the shores of Lake Geneva, the Centre général Guisan is a privileged space for meetings, studies and remembrance. The property, then called Verte Rive, was the home, until his death in 1960, of General Guisan, Commander-in-Chief of the Swiss Army during the Second World War. Nowadays, the space offers various rooms for rent, and also organises numerous events throughout the year. The military library and the park are also open to the public.
