Port des Eaux-Vives.
This is a typical view as you walk along lake Geneva on any given day. There are a handful of small ports like this, close to center city. France lies beyond the horizon and slightly to the right in this picture, the main fountain is out of frame on the left. The sailing season seems to be coming to a close as the weather is starting to get a bit cooler. There really isn't that much activity on the water any more. A few large restaurant boats live close to this port, and these are often cruising around the lake in the evening. I haven't observed any small personal watercraft (like sea-doos and the like) or speedboats cruising around, I would imagine they use the larger part of the lake away from the city. Around the heart of the city, the majority of boats are small sailboats like these.
