CGN boat parade attracts 8000 people to Nyon VD

Four ships from the Belle Epoque and the ship "Thonon-les-Bains" took part in the CGN ships' water ballet, as announced by the CGN and the city of Nyon on Sunday. For almost an hour and a half, the boats moved to the rhythm of a carefully staged nautical choreography before approaching the quays to offer spectators a spectacular finale, accompanied by the concert of passing ships' signals.

Two other innovations characterized this year's edition. The ship "Lausanne" served as a floating grandstand so that the audience could also admire the spectacle from the lake. Before the start of the event, a "small parade" of seven private boats from the period took place on the lake on the initiative of the Musée du Léman in Nyon.
