the «Rhône» was put back into service on Tuesday in Ouchy, after three years of work. The youngest of the historic fleet of the General Navigation Company (CGN) is about to sing a new melody. It is that it is the most musical steamer on the lake, thanks to its unique machine in the world which has remained completely original.
