Château de Cormand stands in Bonneville (Haute-Savoie), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. No visits are on record for this building.
At La Côte-d'Hyot, in the municipality of Bonneville, the château de Cormand stands on a height overlooking the Arve valley, along the route of a former Roman road. Its west facade, flanked by a square tower housing the entrance gate, opens onto an inner courtyard bordered by two wings and extended by a garden. The moats have disappeared, but the thick walls and vaulted cellars still testify to the building's original defensive purpose, now softened into the appearance of a manor house.
