The Château de Chillon on its rock at the edge of Lake Geneva with the snowy peaks of the Dents du Midi behind. Made famous by Byron's "Prisoner of Chillon", the castle was a place of pilgrimage for travellers throughout the nineteenth century, and the blue lake and white mountains come vividly alive in the photochrom.
