Eaux-Vives

A walk around our neighborhood of Eaux-Vives, in Geneva.

Our babysitter Kim did some very detailed playdough with the kids! Looks like a lobster eating a ratThe English Gardens contains this flower clock


There's water fountains everywhere


Our neighborhood - the apartment block across the streetLooking towards Parc La Grange from the sidewalk outside our apartment


Looking away from the parkOn the way to the grocery store - Coop


Looking down towards the lake - this is where we go to take the number 2 or 6 busThe cafe/bakery and garage right across from our apartment


The grocery store just a block awayEntry to the Parc La Grange


The little cafe/ice cream store just inside the park


The La Grange mansionWe've spent many hours at this playground


Next to the playground is a wading pool


This hand-cranked wooden ferris wheel was at the park this summer. The kids loved it.


Here are the Roman ruins in the park. Not much, just some old foundation stones, but still - Roman ruins just next door!Here's one entrance to the park next door to Parc La Grange, called Parc Eaux Vive


Park Eaux Vive has another mansion, now a restaurant


There's an artificial waterfall in Parc Eaux Vive, but stylized to look like a natural waterfall


A little kid-sized cave
