General presentation
Chautauqua et Lake Erie
Lake Erie, Lake Erie cliffs and cultural heritage in the westernmost part of New York.
The discovery of Chautauqua and Lake Erie is centred around Chautauqua Institution, Chautauqua Lake and Lily Dale. The stay thus alternates between the shores and the lakes, the countryside, the heritage and the natural spaces, which gives a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 3 to 6 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: services spaces outside cities. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Major site
Chautauqua Institution
Chautauqua Institution marie amphitheatre, mature trees and resort architecture around the lake in a form of intellectual resort. Conferences, concerts and courses succeed, which transforms the space into a full season: it moves from a museum of community life to a true seasonal cultural scene.
Culture and heritage
Chautauqua Lake
Chautauqua Lake The boats and quays of neighbouring villages offer a way to approach local history that remains simple, almost domestic despite the regional scale.
Culture and heritage
Lily Dale
Lily Dale remains a spirit-based community structured around Victorian cottages, shady trails and community spaces. Even without attending a session, museum and historical journey suffice to understand how this American religious experience has been spatially organized since the 19th century.
