🇫🇷 Évian-les-Bains

Major

France

Évian-les-Bains is the terminus of the Léman Express suburban network's route along the southern shore of Lake Geneva, registered under UIC code 8774567, and it links the Haute-Savoie lakefront communities with Geneva and Lausanne. The town is known for its thermal spa, its Belle Époque lakeside architecture, and the mineral-water brand built on its springs, all within a few minutes' walk of the platforms. A ferry crosses the lake from Évian to Lausanne, so the station also serves as one end of a combined rail and lake itinerary between France and Switzerland. It stands near 46.40° N, 6.58° E and follows Europe/Paris time, although the Swiss shore opposite keeps the same clock.
