Broken Chair Sculpture

The broken chair is a monumental wooden sculpture, 12 meters high, the work of the Swiss artist Daniel Berset and created by the carpenter Louis Genève. It depicts a giant chair with a broken leg. It symbolizes the rejection of landmines and cluster bombs, and the appeal of civil society to heads of state visiting Geneva. The sculpture was erected by Handicap International in Geneva in August 1997. The work belonged to Geneva sculptor Daniel Berset until 2004, when ownership was transferred to Handicap International.

Jet d'Eau

The Jet d'Eau is the emblem of Geneva. It is 140 meters high and 500 liters of water are propelled into the air every second, at a speed of 200 km/h. The Jet d'Eau is not always in operation, stopping and starting are managed by SIG, the company which supplies water, electricity and gas to the city of Geneva. If you are lucky to find it working and the wind is favorable you can approach it without getting wet.

Quartier des Eaux-Vives (Pass By)

The Parc des Eaux-Vives located in the district of the same name, was built in the 16th century and is an extension of the Parc la Grange, which is accessed through a gate. The manor house which dominates the park is a prestigious hotel-restaurant and an ideal place to recharge your batteries while enjoying a magnificent view of the lake and the Jura. The Eux-Vives beach, on the edge of the lake, was created to support social development and improve the urban center. This space with a 400 meter beach is located just ten minutes walk from the city center and houses a water garden.

The Flower Clock

IMPORTANT NOTE: UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE THE FLOWER CLOCK IS WITHOUT FLOWERS. The Flower Clock was created in 1955. Flower arrangements change depending on the season of the year. The floral clock is not only beautiful, it also indicates the time with Swiss precision: the indicated time is transmitted by satellite. Another important detail: its seconds hand is the largest hand in the world, at 2.5 meters in length. The Flower Clock is a magnificent gift to watchmaking mastery that the Swiss can boast and was designed to commemorate the 125th anniversary of the founding of the International Committee of the Red Cross, which as you know was founded in the city of Geneva. They say that the Flower Clock is the most photographed monument in Geneva, so make no exception, take out your cameras!

Cathedrale Saint Pierre

Saint-Pierre Cathedral belongs to the Swiss Reformed Church. Its construction began in the 12th century and includes an eclectic mix of styles. It is best known for being the mother church adopted by John Calvin, one of the leaders of the Protestant Reformation. The area beneath the cathedral has recently been extensively excavated, revealing the site's rich history dating back to Roman times. You have the option to climb to the top of the tower, climbing the 157 steps to get a fantastic view of the city and Lake Geneva (see our cover photo).

Reformation Wall

The Wall of the Reformers is located in the Parc des Bastions. Its approximate dimensions are 99 meters long and 9 meters high. It was built between 1909 and 1917 to mark the fourth centenary of Calvin's birth. In the center of the complex, with a height of up to 5 meters, are grouped the effigies of the four most significant figures of the Reformation present in Geneva in 1559: Guillaume Farel, Jean Calvin, Théodore de Bèze and Jean Knox. The Geneva motto appears engraved on the wall: Post Tenebras Lux (After darkness, light).
