Quartier des Eaux-Vives
What the experts agree on
Waterfront gem offering lakeside relaxation with a restored 18th-century mansion turned restaurant, historic gardens filled with azaleas and ancient trees, plus a public beach area—Geneva's refined escape from city bustle.
“This park has azaleas, ancient trees and rhododendrons; at its centre stands a fine 18C patrician residence which is today a highly regarded restaurant.”
