Getting around by boat and ferry Switzerland

Coming from the "open sea" by boat to the quays of Lausanne, what a wonderful prospect! The Port d'Ouchy is the hub for maritime links between the French shores, with crossings to Thonon or Evian, and the towns of the Riviera. Why not take a cruise to Chillon Castle, Montreux or Vevey? Summer or winter, it's a pleasant stroll along the lakeside quays, past the Château d'Ouchy and the parks. On the esplanade, concerts and other events are organized in the evenings and at weekends.
