Fodor's Expert Review La Liberté
Editor's Note: This property is currently undergoing renovations.
The oar-powered warships of the Greeks, Romans, and Phoenicians once crossed the waters of Lac Léman. Now you can follow in their wake on La Liberté, a reconstruction of a 17th-century galley. This brainchild of historian Jean-Pierre Hirt is part public works project, part historical re-creation. The 183-foot ship sails the lake Wednesday and Saturday evenings and twice Sunday afternoon from mid-May to mid-October for two-hour tours. Reservations are required.
