Rivers
For the 1st edition of Living with Rivers, the Rhone, the Saint Lawrence and the Senegal River speak out and dialogue with us. Listen to what they have to tell us, these living beings with myriad facets, and discover the strength of the bonds that join us with them.

Lionel Gauthier: “Everyone wants to bathe in Lake Geneva!”
Who has not already enjoyed the pleasures of bathing in the water of Lake Geneva in summer? Lionel Gauthier, the curator and director of the Museum of Lake Geneva, turns to this very popular pastime on the occasion of Living with Rivers: bathing in this large French-Swiss lake crossed by the Rhone. A story of prudishness, pollution, developments and different uses, the history of bathing is fascinating and tells us much about our eras and desires.#livingwithrivers
