Gelato Petit Port sur Aix-Les-Bains

A visit to the amusement park in beautiful sunshine. We tried almost all the cars and planes. The nearby parking lot was very convenient, and the lake provided a lovely backdrop.

The small harbor is very pleasant; we regularly launch our boat. Jeremy is essential for launching! He manages the comings and goings impeccably 👌🤩

From freight port to marina. The lakeside port began as a freight tool, not a leisure postcard. Late eighteenth and nineteenth century works created basins and quays capable of handling long barges of around 100 metres, running through the canal de Savières to the Rhône and on to Lyon. Timber, stone, coal and manufactured goods moved here under steam and sail. As spa and excursion traffic grew, the port was gradually divided into specialised basins, handling both commerce and passenger steamers. In the second half of the twentieth century the balance reversed. Commercial freight faded and the Petit Port, Grand Port and new Port de Mémard were reshaped into a continuous marina zone. Together they now offer roughly 900 berths over about fifteen hectares, hosting pleasure boats, sailing schools and excursion craft rather than barges.

Nice little walk. Would be even better with sunshine ☀️😉

Beautiful walk and magnificent panorama

A very pleasant place, seen during a boat show.

A place that's always pleasant to walk around.

Very beautiful walks around Lake Bourget.

A perfect starting point for a stroll along the lake in any season, whether on foot, by bike, or by scooter, sit back and enjoy the magnificent view. Enjoy an ice cream or churros, or relax in one of the many lakeside restaurants... There's something for everyone!
