Geneva Overview

By Travel Expert: Candyce H. Stapen

Global organizations, chocolate, and watches are some of the things that come to mind when thinking about Geneva. The city anchors the southwest corner of Lake Geneva at the border between Switzerland and France (the French call the lake Lac Léman). With the Rhône River flowing through, one of the largest lakes in Europe spreading from its shores, and one quarter of the city covered by public parks, Geneva is a beautiful European city.
