Origin and history

The Musée des Traditions et des Barques du Léman de Saint-Gingolph is an establishment dedicated to the preservation and enhancement of the heritage linked to Lake Geneva. Located in the commune of Saint-Gingolph, it focuses on local traditions and typical boats used on the lake. The Geneva region, shared between France and Switzerland, has always been marked by activities related to fisheries, river transport and trade.

The traditional boats, the essential tools of these activities, reflect the artisanal know-how and lifestyles of riparian populations throughout the centuries.
