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.

envy you so much that you could pay homage to her in front of her residence..I so wanna visit!! is it possible to go if I can't ride a motorcycle?
ReplyDeleteSure 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.
DeleteNice post. Thanks for the pictures. By the way, did you take the some pics about how the road looks like around her house?.
ReplyDeleteGood 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.
