At first glance, Lake Geneva is all about the views. Snow-capped Alps, terraced vineyards, and elegant waterfront towns. It really is a region of unfiltered beauty 🇨🇭

But here’s something many visitors don’t know: despite its name, a large portion of Lake Geneva actually lies in France, making it one of Western Europe’s largest lakes shared by two countries.

With shimmering blue water and scenery that transforms with every season, it’s a destination that never loses its sense of wonder.
