Parc des Eaux-Vives

  Parc des Eaux-Vives sits on the eastern shore of Lake Geneva, specifically in the Eaux-Vives district. Dating back to the 19th century, this park originally served as the grounds for a luxurious villa, offering a glimpse into Geneva's elegant past. The main feature of the park is its meticulously landscaped gardens, which stretch over 12 hectares, providing ample space for leisurely strolls and picnics. While the gardens bloom vibrantly in spring, especially in April and May, visitors can also enjoy the tranquil vistas of the lake and the Alps year-round. Explore the walking paths to discover a variety of flora, including over 100 species of trees, which provide both shade and scenery for a peaceful outdoor experience.
