A walk through the old town of Geneva
I live in Geneva since May 2021, and I've gradually discovered the wonders that this city can offer. Churches, museums, art galleries, but also concerts, cinemas, and pubs.

At the entrance to the walkway to go to the Jet d'Eau, I will have a white bag with me.
Description
Discover Geneva on a walking tour designed to let you experience the city's soul in an authentic and accessible way! This guided tour will take you through the city center's most iconic sites, including spectacular landscapes, vibrant history, and unexpected corners.
We will begin our tour on the shores of Lake Geneva, in front of the imposing Jet d'Eau , the water jet up to 140 meters high that has become one of the symbols of the city.
A few steps will take us to the Jardin Anglais , where the elegant Floral Clock is located: a marvel of botany and Swiss engineering, made with thousands of seasonal flowers that change color every month.
From there we will enter the Vieille Ville through medieval streets, ancient buildings and squares that tell centuries of history.
We will stop at Place du Bourg-de-Four and then reach the majestic Cathedral of St. Peter , where the reformer John Calvin preached in the 16th century.
We'll then continue towards the greenery of the Parc des Bastions , a peaceful spot beloved by students and families. Here, you'll find the evocative Reformation Wall.
Finally, passing through Place de Neuve , we will conclude the tour in the Plaine de Plainpalais , where you can continue your day among vintage stalls, street food or simply relax in an authentic and popular environment.
