Informations

The canton of Geneva, located at the far western tip of Switzerland, is a true gem nestled between the Alps and the Jura. Bordered by France on almost all sides, this Swiss enclave shines far beyond its frontiers, thanks to its cultural richness and global openness.

But if one element fully embodies the Genevan identity, it is the Lake Geneva. Majestic and soothing, it borders the city of Geneva in a setting of breathtaking landscapes. This freshwater mirror, one of the largest lakes in Western Europe, offers stunning views and serves as a true lifeline for both locals and visitors.

Throughout the seasons, Lake Geneva reveals a thousand faces. In summer, its shores welcome walkers, swimmers, cyclists, and boating enthusiasts. Sailboats cross paths with motorboats and the iconic "Mouettes Genevoises" water taxis, in a calm and elegant ballet. Further out, the famous Jet d’Eau proudly rises, a symbol of Geneva visible from miles around.

The Five Ports of Geneva, including those of Eaux-Vives and Pâquis, bring life to the lakeside and make water activities easy and accessible. Pedal boats, rowboats, and even small yachts are available for rent, allowing everyone to explore the lake at their own pace. Every outing becomes a suspended moment, rocked by the lapping waves and the breeze.

And when the sun sets behind the Jura mountains, the golden reflections on the lake turn the landscape into a living, romantic, and unforgettable painting. It is at that very moment that Geneva reveals its purest charm — between city and nature, tradition and modernity.

Beyond its international institutions and economic dynamism, Geneva is also a place for contemplation and a deep connection with the elements. Lake Geneva is not just a backdrop — it is a source of inspiration, a place to unwind, and for many, a true passion.

Geneva

Presentation

Geneva, nestled between lake and mountains, embodies discreet elegance and cultural richness in the heart of Europe. Almost entirely bordered by France, it unfolds like a jewel of water and nature, gently caressed by the majestic shores of Lake Geneva.

A truly cosmopolitan city, Geneva is a crossroads where languages, people, and ideas meet. It is home to many international organizations, including the UN, WHO, and ICRC. But beyond this diplomatic facade, Geneva is also a city of subtle contrasts — where peaceful quays meet bustling shopping districts, and where museums stand alongside artisan markets.

Lake Geneva, ever-present, is the city’s beating heart. It offers breathtaking scenery, changing its colors with the hours and seasons. From the lakeside, the view opens onto the Jet d’Eau, a poetic emblem of the city, shooting water more than 140 meters into the sky.

The banks invite you to stroll, cycle, read, or simply relax. Here you’ll meet students, families, street performers, and travelers. The water soothes and connects. Riverboats, the famous "Mouettes Genevoises," graceful sailboats, and rental boats create a silent ballet on the lake’s surface.

But Geneva is also its Old Town, perched on a hill with cobbled streets, art galleries, and the majestic St. Peter’s Cathedral. It’s the Carouge district, with its Italian village charm, bohemian cafés, and artisan workshops. It’s the Pâquis neighborhood — vibrant, eclectic, and delicious — where the best fondue is enjoyed after a dip in the public baths.

At once discreet and deeply alive, Geneva captivates with its balance. Here, refinement is never ostentatious, nature is never far, and quality of life is a way of life. Whether you stay for a day or forever, the city leaves a soft and radiant impression — like the memory of lake waters at sunrise.
