During our holidays, on one particularly nice afternoon, we decided to take the Bus 8 (see TPG site) and go down at the "Appia" stop near the Red Cross And Red Crescent Museum and the UNO. Then, we walked up the hill, past the Château de Penthes and it's magnificent garden, till the little village of Prégny (in Prégny-Chambésy). After a few minutes walk, we reached a bench from where the view over the Lake Geneva is absolutely stunning. It also overlooks the airport, so we were able to observe the neverending ballet of aeroplanes taking off and landing every minute or so.
Enjoy those shots (click on the pictures to enlarge)!
Sounds like common sense when I read "(I live only 7 km away from the centre)..." But in Japan, they say time such as how long it takes to get somewhere from...by bus or car etc.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, loved your photos. Beautiful and peaceful place!
Rosa,
ReplyDeleteMagnificent view. I wouldn't mind walk for kilometers if the view is like this!
The last photograph, who's house is that? is it the Chateau?
ces photos me tentent comme c'est pas permis! je crois qu'il est temps que je vienne rendre visite.
ReplyDeleteGOCBEP: Right! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteELRA: Thanks! It is the "Château de Tornay" (see link on post)...
CELINE: Alors, qu'est-ce que tu attends ;-P?!
Stunning photos. It must have been even more beautiful in the flesh.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the pain batbout recipe. I cook a lot of moroccan inspired recipes and this would be an interesting change from the standard pita I usually serve up. (I'm still drooling over that dinner you cooked up!)
Nice views. I actually visited Geneva on the 14th of July and I really enjoyed this fab town...and as you wrote it's so easy to get out of the town and enjoy great sites. (If only I could get a job at the UN....pffff) ;)
