The terrace and garden at Christine's place were outstanding! Rivaz is beautiful but quiet however the apartment is located only a minute walk from Rivaz train station with hourly services in each direction to bigger towns with supermarkets and restaurants. Trains were free with the Lauvaux card provided by Christine. We had no problem with train noise. Great walks through the vineyards at the doorstep as well as a beach and small park. Our family of four with two pre-school aged children were very comfortable here.
