One of Western Europe's largest bodies of water, Lake Geneva sits on the northern side of the Alps. Shared by Switzerland and France, the lake serves as one of the continent's most popular year-round travel destinations, its pristine natural areas a favorite stomping ground for both hikers and skiers. The Swiss side of the lake features a string of picturesque cities, the largest of which is Geneva. This city serves as a hub for paddle steamer cruises, providing a slow but scenic way of connecting to other ports on the lake. After visiting the region's old wineries, castles, and thermal baths, head to one of the lake's tranquil beaches, backed by rugged mountain scenery and shady woodlands.

  昼食後、ﾎﾃﾙから湖に向かい湖畔にて対岸に行く黄色い渡し船に乗船。 この船もjﾎﾃﾙﾃで頂いたﾄﾗﾝｽﾎﾟｰﾄｶｰﾄﾞで無料で乗船できます。 ｼﾞｪｯﾄ噴水を左間近に見ながら僅か5分程で、対岸へ　ｱﾝｸﾞﾚ庭園を散策してきました。  more »

  After lunch, we boarded a yellow ferry that went from the hotel to the lake and went to the other side of the lake. This ship can also be boarded free of charge with the transport card received at j Hotel Te. I walked around the Angre Garden to the opposite bank in just five minutes while looking at the jet fountain up close to the left.
