Interesting article in today's NY Times: Lake Geneva as Shelley and Byron Knew It. Writer of article has written a book The Sinner's Grand Tour: A Journey Through the Historical Underbelly of Europe; this trip was probably gathering material for that book.

Thank you so much for the link to the NY Times.
I would not have found that article other than through your post and I very much enjoyed reading it.

Very interesting read, thank you!! They sure knew how to party back then!!
