Parc La Grange
One of the largest parks on the eastern shore of Lake Geneva, where the terraced rose garden blooms with hundreds of varieties every June.
Parc La Grange lies on the eastern stretch of the lake's left bank. Covering about 20 hectares, its grassy slopes gently descend to the water, and the 18th-century La Grange Villa stands within the park. The park is best known for its terraced rose garden, built in 1945, which contains hundreds of varieties and tens of thousands of rose bushes. The bloom peaks around mid-June, when the Geneva International Rose Trials are also held. In summer, open-air theatre performances take place, and the lakeside lawns are where locals come to picnic and sunbathe. The adjoining Parc des Eaux-Vives is also worth a stroll. Free admission. About a 20-minute walk along the lake from the English Garden, or take bus 2 or 6.
