An emblematic figure of the Lake Geneva landscape since its foundation in 1873, the CGN (Compagnie générale de navigation sur le lac Léman) is, with its 19 boats, the largest cruise company in French-speaking Switzerland and the second largest nationally.
In terms of mobility, it is a major player in the Lake Geneva region, particularly thanks to its many links with neighbouring France. Its Belle Époque fleet of 8 paddlewheelers, unique in the world, is of inestimable value not only from a historical point of view, but also for the tourism reputation of the entire Lake Geneva region.
It was classified as a historic monument of national importance on the 17th of June 2011.
