A lot of well-known people lived or holidayed by the lake: Lenin, Charlie Chaplin, Lord Byron of David Bowie, just to name a few. The Empress Elisabeth of Austria (we just call her Sisi in Hungary)was stabbed to death on the quayside in Geneva in 1898. There is a statue by the lake to remember her.
As I live close to it almost every day I spend some time by Bains des Paquis. Actually the place is open all year around not only for summer.
If you fancy to feed the ducks and swans or have a casual meal this can be a right spot for you.
I will be most probably there, too.
