Introduction

Lake Geneva (locally Lac Léman) is the largest lake in the Alpine region, crescent-shaped, spanning Switzerland and France, with Geneva at its southwest end. The blue water, the towering Jet d'Eau, white boats and swans, and on clear days the Alps and Mont Blanc snow peaks on the horizon, form Geneva's elegant lakeside scenery. Both shores have green spaces, gardens and promenades, a park for locals and visitors. Visitors take sightseeing boats to cruise, enjoying the vineyards, castles and grand lakeside villas on both shores, even to Lausanne, Montreux or French towns across. At dusk the lake mirrors the sunset—serene and charming. Blue lake, snow mountains and international-city character make Lake Geneva Geneva's most moving backdrop.
