  • Le Vme Centenaire De L'église De Leysin
    En Vieux-Chablais Le Vme centenaire de l'église de Leysin On sait qu'au Moyen Age le Valais proprement dit s'arrêtait à la croix d'Ot­ tan, près du Trient, non loin du Vernayaz actuel ; en aval, jusqu'au Léman, c'était le Chablais, c'est-à-dire le pays de la Tête du lac, Caput laci. Lorsque ce nom s'étendit aux territoires au sud du lac, on réserva le nom de Vieux- Chablais au triangle compris entre Vernayaz, Montreux et St-Gingolph. Mal­ gré le sort différent qui a rattaché la rive droite dès 1475 à Berne, puis à Vaud depuis 1798, et la rive gauche au Valais depuis 1476 ou 1536 suivant les lieux, la communauté d'un passé de plusieurs siècles l a laissé des liens qui se sont maintenus ou ranimés jusqu'à ce jour. Cest ainsi, par exemple, que le Dio­ cèse de Sion ne confond point ses limites avec les frontières civiles, mais s'étend, d'une part, jusqu'au Riau, entre Bouveret et St-Gingolph, d'autre part, jusqu'à l'Eau-froide, entre Roche et Villeneuve. Leysin faisait, au Moyen Age, partie de la paroisse d'Aigle. Mais les habi­ tants du haut village firent valoir la distance et le danger des chemins lorsque la neige s'accumule en grande quantité ou lorsque le vent souffle avec violence, surtout en hiver, pour obtenir l'érection d'une chapelle au milieu d'eux. Le curé d'Aigle Pierre Patin, chanoine de St-Maurice, soutint ces vues et manifesta son plein accord.

  • Swiss Schools and Lifestyle Guide
    Swiss SCHOOL & LIFESTYLE GUIDE A guide to the educational system in Switzerland and the best locations to live, created in partnership with Carfax Consultants. Welcome letter Switzerland remains one of the world’s most revered and sought after locations and it is no surprise as we explore on page 6; the country is consistently rated strongly for its high standards of living, excellent education, quality of life, a robust and stable economy and favourably low levels of tax, crime and poverty. Private individuals who are drawn by this safe and dependable environment regularly approach Knight Frank to seek our recommendations and guidance from over 12 years working across this market. The Knight Frank Swiss Schools and Lifestyle Guide was developed alongside Carfax Consultants and the collective knowledge from our network of over 13 offices spread strategically throughout the country to provide a comprehensive overview of the top private schools, plus a guide to some of the various lifestyle options available and information on how to purchase. The guide considers both clients seeking permanent residence (see pages 4 & 5) as well as those who desire a holiday home or just to invest in Swiss real estate as a non-resident (see page 12). The Benefits of a Swiss Education (see page 14) offers a unique insight by Carfax Consultants for those not so familiar with the variety of options on offer. The experience that Carfax can provide to help clients place their children within the right school is paramount to a successful relocation. We hope you find the information useful and if you have any questions, or wish to find out more about how our team can help you find your dream home, with great educational options close by, please get in touch.
