From the creation of the CGN in 1873 to its salon boats listed as historical monuments, this beautiful 144-page book, featuring previously unpublished photographs, recounts the complete history of a fleet unique in the world. The definitive work for all Lake Geneva enthusiasts.
The result of a new photographic campaign undertaken specifically for this edition, this book by Jacques Straesslé, Maurice Decoppet, Didier Zuchuat, and Emmanuel Glauser is much more than a photo book. It tells the complete story of the Compagnie Générale de Navigation since its creation in 1873, enriched with new chapters on the restorations carried out in recent years and on the development of commuter traffic between the Swiss and French shores.
The eight Belle Époque boats, listed as historical monuments in 2011, are presented in detail, alongside the modern fleet. This book helps to showcase a heritage unique in the world for its number of vessels and its homogeneity.
A fully updated reissue of the book published in 2008, which has been out of print ever since due to its immense popularity. An essential gift for lovers of Lake Geneva and its history.
