Description
The Parc La Grange is a 20ha urban parc in Geneva comprising a rose garden, orangeries, an alpine garden and an 18th-century manor house that contains an impressive library (Favre's book collection). Contiguous to it is the 4.5ha Parc des Eaux-Vives with a pond, a large collection of rhododendrons, a mansion transformed in a luxury hotel, and restaurant at the top of its slope.
Access & Transport
The parks are in the Eaux-Vives neighbourhood, on the eastern bank of Lake Geneva, 5mins from the Jet' d'Eau and from the Genève-Eaux-Vives train station. Buses 1, 9, 33 stop at the southern edge of Parc de La Grange and the tram stop Amandolier (12, 17) is just south of the Eaux-Vives train station.
