Marina like harbor situated at the end of Quai Gustave-Ador and the beginning of the Quai de Cologny in Geneva, Switzerland.

Here you can see the statue La Brise (The Breeze) which was sculpted by Henry Koenig in 1939.[1]

This is a location of historical and symbolic importance: it was here that on 1 June 1814 two Swiss contingents, Soleure and Fribourg, landed. This event led to the integration of Geneva into the Swiss confederation on 19 May 1815.
