      Evian nautical center

      Located at the entrance to the town, on the shores of Lake Geneva, the nautical center extends over 3.5 hectares of lawns and green spaces, with direct access to the lake. The two pools have been completely renovated, and the beach has been awarded the Pavillon Bleu label since 2020.
