One day in Geneva

The snow capped alps that I saw through flight window got me excited about what the city had to offer.I believe that I fell in love with this picturesque city within moments of our arrival. Geneva is the second-largest city in Switzerland and would have to be considered one of the loveliest with its beautiful location on the shores of Lake Geneva and view of both the Jura Mountains and the French Alps. The water front in Geneva is one of the picturesque locations.From there we walked along the lakefront promenade to see Le Jet d'Eau ("the Fountain"). This fountain which is situated near the left bank of Lake Geneva is one of the largest fountains in the world and one of the most popular tourist attractions in the city. The fountain sprays water into the air at a rate of 200km/hr and if the wind changes direction suddenly then you might very well get wetter than you had intended .From there we headed to Bastions Park to view the Reformation Wall. The lovely tree-lined Bastions Park was a botanical garden at one time and is now a popular place for relaxation - or to play a game of chess on the life-size boards.Of course, we could not leave Geneva without shopping for Swiss Chocolate. (Rich dark chocolates worthy enough of drooling).We finished our day in Geneva with a Swiss hot chocolate before catching the train back to Paris - hoping to return soon and spend more time exploring Geneva and the rest of Switzerland.
