From the marina of Sciez-sur-Léman, you will walk along the Coudrée domain to reach the fine sand beach of Excenevex. This beach is the only natural beach of fine sand on Lake Geneva.

Classified as one of the most beautiful villages in France and rich in 700 years of history, a magnificent castle stands on the edge of the lake.
