the castle was burnt and remained roofless for 350 years.<\/p>\n<p>For a long period, Yvoire sank back into anonymity and the proud strongpoint became a village of farmers and fishermen.\u00a0Important evidence of the past has been miraculously preserved : the castle, ramparts and fortified gateways, ditches and houses. These must be restored and brought to life, yet protected against the ravages of modernity so as to preserve the atmosphere.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_253\" style=\"width: 1210px\" class=\"wp-caption
