Lake Geneva (French: lac Léman, le Léman,] sometimes lac de Genève, German: Genfersee) is a lake on the north side of the Alps, shared between Switzerland and France. It is one of the largest lakes in Western Europe and the largest on the course of the Rhone. 59.53% ( 345.31 km2 (133.32 sq mi) ) of it comes under the jurisdiction of Switzerland (cantons of Vaud, Geneva, and Valais), and 40.47% (234.71 km2 (90.62 sq mi)) under France (department of Haute-Savoie).
Lake Geneva is divided into three parts because of its different forms of formation (sedimentation, tectonic folding, glacial erosion):
- Haut Lac (Upper Lake), the eastern part from the Rhone estuary to the line of Meillerie–Rivaz
- Grand Lac (Large Lake), the largest and deepest basin with the lake's largest width
- Petit Lac (Small Lake), the most south-west, narrower and less deep part from Yvoire–Promenthoux next Prangins to the exit in Geneva
