The Musée des Traditions et des Barques du Léman is located at the heart of the historic Saint-Gingolph village. It displays objects and documents concerning the barques from Lake Ge-neva and also reveals the village life and activities in the era when barques existed
Le Musée des Traditions et des Barques du Léman est installé dans le château du XVIe siècle, au coeur du village historique de Saint-Gingolph, village franco-suisse.
Il présente principalement des objets et des documents sur les cochères, petites embarcations de transport, et les barques du Léman, ancienne barques de charge aux grandes et belles voiles latines, symboles du patrimoine lémanique. C’est d’ailleurs à Saint-Gingolph que se trouvait le principal chantier de construction des barques du Léman.
Le musée évoque également la vie et les activités de la communauté humaine du village au temps des barques : artisanat, exploitation de la châtaigneraie et des forêts, transports du bois… Une salle est consacrée aux bateaux à vapeurs du Léman.
