Genf, Phare des Pâquis, Pâquis világító torony a Genfi-tavon, Genf kikötőjének torkolatánál. A világító torony mindig egy remek irány jelző volt ez mindig a hajónak a kikötés előtt.

Le phare de Genève, situé sur le quai du Mont-Blanc, est un petit édifice charmant au bord du Lac Léman. Sa lumière, bien que modeste, guide les petites embarcations et sécurise la navigation locale, surtout la nuit ou par temps de brouillard. Plus qu’un simple outil pratique, il fait partie du paysage lacustre et ajoute une touche pittoresque aux promenades le long du quai. Parfait pour une balade tranquille, il offre également de belles opportunités de photos avec le lac et les montagnes en arrière-plan. Un repère discret mais incontournable pour les amoureux du lac.
