Tolochenaz - final resting place of Audrey Hepburn

Audrey Hepburn lived in the Villa "La Paisible" in Tolochenaz for 30 years until her death on January 20, 1993. She was 63 years old. The name of the renovated 18th-century farmhouse - meaning "calm, quiet" - is quite appropriate. She had a beautiful garden overlooking Lac Léman, with a view of the snowcapped Mont Blanc.

    1. Sure you can visit without a motorcycle. Tolochenaz is not far from Morges, you can even walk from there. Morges can be reached easily from Geneva. Tell me when you are around and I give you a ride.

    1. Good point. I will have to check my photos. The road in front of house is not too busy, but it is still a country road, as the house is at the edge of the town.
