Perle du Lac - Just a short walk from the Palais Wilson, the Parc de la Perle du Lac serves as a transition between the city and the Botanical Gardens. Both cyclists and walkers enjoy the paths of this green oasis. It’s no surprise that the wife of Hans Wilsdorf, founder of Rolex watches, called this place the “Pearl of the Lake”!

-
Jet d’Eau - The star of the Rade de Genève!
Standing 140 meters high and releasing 500 liters of water per second at 200km/h, we present the Jet d’Eau! This iconic symbol of Geneva has an interesting story. Did you know the famous Jet d’Eau of Geneva was almost an accident?
Here, we’ll take a short break to hydrate with a soft drink or a glass of wine (and maybe some ice cream?)

L’ancien arsenal - In the heart of the Old Town, a distinctive building.
With its famous cannons, the Old Arsenal now houses the State Archives. -

Four men, one wall, one story.
In the heart of the Parc des Bastions, Jean Calvin, Guillaume Farel, Théodore de Bèze, and John Knox, key figures of the Reformation, await you in the form of giant statues and bas-reliefs. “Post Tenebras Lux,” the motto of Geneva, is engraved on this wall. Upon leaving the park, the splendid Place de Neuve and its various art-related sites are worth discovering. -
Place de l’Ile - A bridge rich in history.
The Pont de l’Île stands as a testament to Geneva’s resilience through the centuries. - Cornavin - Return the bikes to the starting point.
