New Italie !

The mountains of Switzerland are never too far away from a lake. On the Lac Léman, some of the oldest Tourist boats in Europe (1900's) are still in activity. On 13th November 2016, the inauguration cruise of the new "Italie" (1908) took place.

Here are a few pictures of the event: the ship was totally rebuilt and refurbished in a beautiful way. You will also find lots of information about this historic boat here.

At the Ouchy harbour, the crewmen are ready for the crowd.

A few details onboard.

It was a little windy, but with dramatic views over the swiss shores.

2 views of the boat inside and outside.

The First Class deck.

Images of the past !-)

So why not plan a little cruise after a hike (www.walkandtalk.ch)?
