Pleasure boaters and professional fishermen share the wharves below the church, where the fishermen's port is like a timeless bubble, a calm and peaceful spot frequented by local wildlife.
To facilitate the work of fishermen and boatmen, as well as to protect the banks, protective dikes and harbours were built: the first was the Fishermen's Harbour below the church, built in the early 19th century by the fishermen themselves.
It was destroyed by the lake and rebuilt in the 1860s. At that time, steamboats with paddlewheels were already plying the Lake Geneva, but they couldn't dock at the small port's jetty, so passengers had to embark and disembark via a wooden pontoon that extended the short stone jetty still visible today at the foot of the château.
