The stone column
Local name: La colonne de pierre
The marina is a place of great historical and symbolic importance. It was here that on June 1, 1814, two Swiss contingents landed, Soleure and Friborg. This event led to Geneva joining the Swiss Confederation on May 19, 1815. At the port you can admire the monument, carved by Henry Koenig in 1939.
