Île Rousseau, River island park in Genève-Cité, Switzerland.
The small island sits in the Rhone River connected by the Pont des Bergues bridge, featuring walking paths and multiple seating areas.
Originally an industrial site, the island was transformed into a public park and named after philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau who lived in Geneva.
A bronze statue of Jean-Jacques Rousseau stands on the island, marking its status as a Class A Swiss cultural property of national significance.
The Pavillon de l'Ile Rousseau offers sandwiches, beverages, and light meals, making it a frequent lunch destination for local workers.
The gravel-covered island provides a protected environment for water birds, with views of Lake Geneva and the Jet d'Eau fountain.
