Lake Geneva, known in French as Lac Léman, is the largest lake in the Alps and one of the largest in Western Europe, shared between Switzerland and France. The Swiss northern shore is lined with vineyards, including the UNESCO-listed Lavaux terraces, behind which the Vaud Pre-Alps rise steeply. The lake's surface varies from deep blue to silver depending on light and season, with the Jet d'Eau fountain at Geneva among its most photographed features.
