Lake Geneva boats are emblematic of the lake of the same name. Linking one shore to the other with speed and safety, they have played a decisive role in the development of human, social and economic exchanges in this particular lake environment. They are still the largest double lateen-sailed boats in existence. Expert: Ms Elisabeth MARECHAUX-LAURENTIN, Cabinet MARECHAUX
