Dans un superbe parc vous trouverez le mur des Réformateurs. Un morceau de l'histoires des protestants à Genève et dans les environs. A voir surtout si vous êtes à Genève.

Dominique Cretton

Lieu amblématique de Genève. A voir absolument. Situé dans le parc des Bastions à côté de l'université. Idéal pour se promener, s'installer sur l'herbe ou même danser ( plusieurs groupes de dance viennent danser ici)
