Hermance occupies the north-eastern tip of the canton of Geneva, on the left bank of Lake Geneva. The municipality ends at the Hermance river, which marks the border between Switzerland and France. It is one of the smallest municipalities in the canton, facing the lake and next to Anières. It combines a former fortified town, direct lake access and a position away from the main roads. The fortified new town was founded from 1247 onwards, and the large round tower that dominates the village, a former keep, was built around 1337 and 1338. Part of the town wall survives in the masonry of the houses. The building stock is divided between the village houses of the old town and villas spread across the rest of the municipality. In the old town, several buildings incorporate parts of the former wall, which means specific works and rules apply in the event of renovation. The market is narrow and transactions are few.
Lanes lined with old houses built against the town wall, Port aux Mouches and Port d'Hermance, a municipal beach and a CGN boat stop on request in season: Hermance lives to the rhythm of the lake, away from the main roads.
