Largest lake in Western Europe, Lac Léman – or Lake Geneva – draws a graceful arc north of the Alps.  The 50 km French stretch includes two stylish resorts and is a favourite spot with fishermen and birdwatchers, sailing enthusiasts and golfers.

Thonon-les-Bains
In December 2010, Thonon-les-Bains became the first French sailing resort to receive 4-Star classification from France Station Nautique, despite not being on the coast.  Discover the lake’s flora, fauna and fishing tradition at the town’s Ecomuseum.

Evian-les-Bains
The stylish spa town of Evian-les-Bains has been attracting wealthy clients with its therapeutic waters since the mid-19th century. Today it combines beautiful buildings and riverside gardens with some serious sporting and sailing facilities.
