Mies, Switzerland
Mies is a municipality in the district of Nyon in the canton of Vaud in Switzerland. Mies is one of the communes of the Canton de Vaud which are collectively known as the " Terre-Sainte". Located approximately halfway between Geneva and Nyon, Mies sits on Lake Geneva (''Lac Léman''), which lies to the southeast. The highest point of Mies is 455m above sea level. To the southwest lies Versoix, in the Canton of Geneva and to the northwest Chavannes-de-Bogis, which houses a major shopping mall. To the north and west lie the Communes of Tannay, Bogis-Bossey, and Coppet. Mies is separated from the neighbouring commune of Tannay by a small ravine containing a stream called ''le nant du Torry''.

Remains of settlements have been found all the way back to the Bronze Age, but the first documentary reference to Mies wa ...
