The Jet d’Eau
The Jet d’Eau
Historical landmark
The lakeshore’s star attraction is the water jet, dazzling visitors as it shoots 140 meters into the sky. Winter: open from 10am to 4pm History: Like most great inventions, the Jet d’eau was actually created by accident. When Geneva’s artisanal hydraulic power machines stopped being used, a valve designed to relieve over-pressure by letting water escape created a 30m jet towards the sky. In 1891, Geneva City Council decided to turn the water jet into a tourist attraction and moved it to the end of the jetty in the port of Eaux-Vives. Connected to the drinking water network, the 2nd water jet was born - climbing to 90m. In 1951, new waterworks built to use the lake allowed the jet to reach 140m.

The Flower Clock
The Flower Clock
Historical landmark
Created in 1955, the flower clock is well known around the world and recently renovated on May 2017. Mosaic experts of Geneva carefully implanted 12000 plants for a new concept of flower composition. The irrigation system is fundamental to the maintenance of flower conditions together with their exposition to the sun. New hands (with an elegant design close to the original one) were manufactured and generously offered to the City by the firm Patek Philippe. The second hand, which marks the seconds, 2.5 meters in length, is probably the largest in the world. The clock has an electronic time setting via satellite.
