Jardin Anglais, Urban park in Genève-Cité, Switzerland.
The Jardin Anglais covers 25,430 square meters along Lake Geneva, featuring gardens, monuments, fountains, and three commemorative busts of Swiss artists.
Created in 1855 on an ancient harbor, the park underwent modifications in 1863 during the construction of Mont-Blanc Bridge, shaping its current trapezoidal form.
The park contains the Monument National from 1869, symbolizing Geneva's incorporation into the Swiss Confederation, and hosts the Geneva Christmas Market annually.
The garden provides visitors with amenities including drinking fountains, benches, shaded areas, free Wi-Fi access, restrooms, and a cafe named La Potinière.
The mechanical L'horloge fleurie from 1955 combines traditional watchmaking with horticulture, displaying time through seasonal flowers that change throughout the year.

Geneva offers a diverse heritage combining history, science, and nature on the shores of Lake Geneva. The city houses institutions such as the Palace of Nations and CERN, religious buildings like Saint Pierre Cathedral where Calvin preached, as well as cultural spaces like the Patek Philippe Museum dedicated to Swiss watchmaking. The Jet d'Eau, an emblematic fountain shooting water 140 meters high, marks the lake landscape. Visitors also explore the collections at the Natural History Museum, walk through botanical gardens housing alpine and tropical plants, or visit Maison Tavel, the oldest medieval house in the city. The Bains des Pâquis offer swimming and relaxation by the lake with views of Mont Blanc. This concentration of historic, scientific, and natural sites makes Geneva a comprehensive destination for discovering the Swiss Romand heritage.
