Just 10 minutes away from the Hotel de la Cigogne, the towers of the Saint-Pierre Cathedral offer you a unique view of the city of Geneva and Lake Geneva.
THE JET D’EAU
From our hotel near Lake Geneva, you can admire city’s famous water jet. Known as the Jet d’eau in French, it rises over 140 metres into the air in the heart of the bay. This symbol of Geneva was created in the 19th century to relieve pressure in the municipal water system, and it is illuminated every evening.
The Jet d’eau is in action practically all year round, rising up 140 m into the air with water being ejected at a speed of 200 km per hour. One of the symbols of Geneva, it is visible from numerous points in the city centre, with the best viewing spot being the Bains des Pâquis beach.

GENEVA’S MUSEUMS

As you wander along the quayside, you’ll encounter the Pâquis pier, which can be spotted by its lighthouse. Here you’ll find Geneva’s public bathing area. From here you can also enjoy one of the many cruises offered along the lake.
