Opposite the chateau at 4 Place du Château is the headquarters of Focale, one of the most important associations of Swiss photographers; their cramped bookshop is excellent, as is the gallery downstairs showing contemporary photography.
The museum is housed in a Roman basilica, originally part of Nyon’s forum; a giant trompe l’oeil fresco of the original basilica’s interior on the wall outside, as well as a model in the museum, give an idea of the size of Nyon’s public buildings in its Roman heyday.
The museum’s extensive collection is very well laid out, but with notes only in French – you pass first into the central area (the nave of the basilica) which houses inscriptions, statues and architectural details, and from there move around the walls of the room through zones devoted to daily life, crafts and religion.

But although Nyon, was to eventually provide 'home', UEFA initially operated from provisional premises in a wing of the Providentia insurance building in the town, while construction work continued on the state-of-the-art headquarters.
And, perhaps most importantly, UEFA was given the opportunity by the local authorities in Nyon to buy land on the banks of the lake to build modern headquarters fully in tune with the present-day requirements of a major football organisation.
In the meantime, UEFA had rented 1,800 square metres of office space in a wing of the Providentia insurance building in Nyon in January 1994, and the 65 employees at the time were all installed in these provisional premises by February 1995, when the official move from Berne to Nyon took place.
