Operated by CGN · Vevey, Vaud
A Belle Époque paddleboat leaves Vevey and the town fades into a line of roofs as the wake writes a brief signature across Lake Geneva. The air carries cool, wet metal and the faint scent of baked bread from the market at Place du Marché; mountains frame the horizon and rows of vines on the Lavaux slope angle down toward the water. The boat eases past Clarens and Montreux, brushes Territet, then makes a deliberate approach to Château de Chillon's landing stage — the castle rising from the rock as if the lake has been holding it in place for centuries.
