The BacounisIt is not easy to picture the beautiful boats of pleasure or navigation on Lake Geneva, but for a long time the lake has served as a «maritime route» to ferry operators transporting goods from France to Switzerland. These boats, strong men who sometimes déchargeaient tons of stones from their boats, willingly eat and chamailleurs, well known on the banks for their franc-talk, are the bacounis, the lords of El Léman. But they were not all equally @ and separated into clan. The «Lémans», more discreet in the village of Meillerie, were sometimes opposed to the terrible «No Worries» who didn't care about it. There would surely be many stories, deeds and dangerous navigations to tell, but to do so, it is only to drag a little into the few ports, bars and historic restaurants of the French shore to listen to the stories transmitted by the bacounis who, today, are unfortunately no longer.
